I am deeply sorry for Logan's family. Though he was never my cousin by blood, he was family to me, and I have so many fond and funny memories with him at his dads house. Logan was one of a kind, he was someone that anyone would want to look up to and I miss him very much. He is my hero, for the way he was, and I know right now he is up in heaven making God and the angels laugh, and making it a brighter place.
He will never be forgotten.

"The Lord is a Refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know Your name will trust in You, for You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you."

-Psalm 9:9-10

"God is our Refuge and strength, an ever-present help in time of need."

-Psalm 46:1

Mr Mike & Mrs Kris,

God will never leave you. He hurts with the hurting, He comforts those in need, and He is found by those who seek Him. I encourage you to seek God during this difficult time for comfort and strength. You are continually in my thoughts and prayers.

Logan was one of the first people in my life that I could really call friend. I remember playing with him all the time when we were younger. I will miss him and will never forget him

I regret not being able to go to the service because I am away at school, but I know that Logan knows all I wanted was to say goodbye. He truly was one of the sweetest and funniest people I have met. Having English IV with him made it enjoyable instead of a pain. I will always remember his smile and the way he could make me laugh even if I didn't want to. I'll miss him.The experience of losing my uncle leads me to give my condolences go to your family because a death hurts but more than that it brings people together to realize what in life truly matters.

Logan was my Marketing Student of the Year 2009. He was such a bright, intelligent, opinionated (and that was a GREAT thing about him) young man who was definetely going on to do great things in his life. My sincere, heartfelt sympathies go out to his family in this terrible time. Our hearts are broken here at JMRHS with you.

I only know of Logan through my son, a friend of Chelsea's. He seemed like a great person who was very kind and had a sense of humor. I can only imagine what you are going through now. Please know that thought and prayers are with you.

I didn't know Logan, and I don't know Logan's family, but having experienced multiple losses in our family and of our sons' young friends from accidental deaths, I feel compelled to send my condolences to all of Logan's family and friends. It's such a shock and the worst kind of loss to handle. I know everyone must be so heartbroken and in so much pain. There are no words to fully explain how sorry I feel for all of you.

Mike and Kris,
I've been praying for you especially during this time. God will help you through each day. God specializes in difficult times and that's when we feel Him the most. He will pick you up and carry you everyday.I remember Logan coming over to our house and spending the night with Garrett, Kayce, and Jonathan. Logan enjoyed going to church with us. I remember when he went to church with us and asked Jesus to forgive him for his sins and he asked Jesus into his heart. We prayed together too and I know he understood it and meant it. Logan is a special young man and I know you are proud of him. We all loved him so much and we'll miss him.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
