I had the privilege of working with Logan at Green Meadow Elementary School. As a school counselor, I could count on Logan to reach out to a new student, or take the time to cheer up a buddy. Logan's gentle ways and contagious smile made each classroom he was a part of special place. Thoughts and prayers to the Polfuss family and surrounding Green Meadow Families.
With deepest sympathy,

My husband and I had the great privilege to meet Logan earlier this summer, we were headed home from work near the airport in Longmont when all of the sudden Woosh Logan drops down in a field in front of us (he had missed the mark in the skydiving landing field) we got out of the car and started walking over to him to see if he was OK and needed a ride back to the airport , well we quickly noticed he was more then OK (actually he had a beautiful landing) he had his back to us and didn't see us coming but could see he had his earbuds in and was dancing to his music, he made us both just laugh and smile...we helped him gather his gear and gave him a ride back to the airport, during our drive we both just fell in love with him, never have I met a person with such passion for life and a personality to go along with it, he talked of his love for skydiving and shared the video he had taken on his way down...we only met Logan that one time and even though we spent only a short time with us he left an impression that will last forever...Our deepest sympathy's to his family and friends...the world has lost an amazing spirit...Prayers and hugs to you all
