Logan Garth Ricketts

Can believe it's been 4 years little brother....miss you terribly.
You are loved.

Say hello to my Dad friend!

Love you Logan...you will be missed but one day you can take us all along the trails you've explored in Heaven and show us the best places to fish...until then...

Logan was a stellar Mountain Host in Whitefish, Montana where he met many lifelong friends. My sympathy to all his friends and family. To a life well lived and to his amazing strength of spirit, here's to you Logan!

Missing you so much already! Love the memories you left our family! So many fun times shared !! Love, Auntie Ann

I feel blessed to have shared many great times with Logan as kids and adults. What a champion of life he was. He will forever be remembered and the memories cherished.

Moving on and moving up buddy...

The world lost a wonderful man! I had the honor of meeting Logan about 20 years ago. He was a joy to be around. He had an incredible zest for life, always positive and smiling. I am lucky to have crossed paths with such a wonderful person!

I have so fondly remember the day, skiing the big slopes of Anchorage, a young tow-headed blonde boy said he didn't know how to ride the chair lift. I talked him through getting on and riding to the top of Alyeska or Arctic Valley (I can't remember which). Oops, I forgot to tell him how to get off the chair. I skied off the ramp and looked at him, horrified for a moment, before yelling, "Jump Off!!!" Which he did with confidence and glee. We giggled and off he skied, leaving me in the dust trying to catch up to him. Never could...

Logan, hope the slopes you are skiing now are deep powder and the sun is shining on the tracks you leave. God bless.

May the memory of your loved one bring you comfort. May you find comfort in the words found at Philippians 21:4

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Bev... my condolences to you on Logan's passing... so glad that "by chance" we ran into you and Logan on arrival at the airport last Thanksgiving eve. Blessings to you and your family.

Logan was a first boyfriend to me....more friend really. He came over for Easter one year and coming up from down stairs...my father looked over at him as we reached the top of the landing and he said to Logan " sir" and Logan saluted him. My dad always remembered that...even in his old years. It made him laugh every time. I seen Logan many years later and help him lay a few rows of flooring at the lodge...his outlook on life was amazing. You will always be remembered. My thoughts and prayers go to the Ricketts family.

Logan's infectious smile will forever live on! I will never forget being the new kid in AK during our early years and Logan & his buddies were always welcoming. Incredible memories shared & experienced growing up. His spirit and ambition shined over all of us. It was fun to watch his adventures through life.

Until we see each other again...RIP ole friend!

I am so sorry for the loss of such a wonderful man. I will always remember his great smile in the halls at Lathrop. He will be missed. I'm so glad I had a chance to know him. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

I am so sorry for the loss of such a loving son and a friend to so many. He will always be remembered for his beautiful smile that matched his beautiful heart. I was lucky to have shared time with him. With sympathy, Kristi

What a beautiful and amazing man with so many accomplishments in his short life! Will remember your amazing smile with the quirk to it !! Bob and I visited Mom, Dad and YOU in Fairbanks long ago and you took us on a guide trip down your Alaska waters. It was like day lite and 10 pm. Wonderful memories!! Thank you !!! LOVE you forever!!

I'm so very sorry for your loss Aunt Bev. I remember Logan as a child, wish I had known him as an adult
Prayers and love being sent!

I met Logan when staying at Aurora Borealis Lodge in 2012 and 2014. Though our visits were brief, it was obvious he was a very caring person who was loved by many. I am sure he is remembered by visitors around the world.

To Logan's family and friends, I am so sorry for your great loss.

My son Jeff Hansen and Logan were high school buddies. I always enjoyed when he came to the house and he and Jeff would have a jam session. He was such a gentleman and so much fun to be around. I will never forget their goofy air guitar routine. My deepest sympathy to his family, though he can no longer physically be with us, the joy of knowing him is written in our heart.

Logan took us on an unforgettable four day trip down the Gulkana River. We had our camera crew from Fox 7 (Matt Want) on board and a couple of Radio and TV guys from Oregon. Never laughed so hard for four day's strait and Logan made it one of the best experiences in Alaska I have ever had and I have been exploring Alaska for over 35 years. There is actually a screenplay written that was inspired by that trip but has yet to be produced, written by(Brad Douglas). Logan was just cool, and we all wanted to be his friend. I hope to float the Gulkana this summer from the lake to Sourdough and stay at the same spots in memory of Logan.

Quick story,,, I will never forget him calling out a pair of very expensive sunglasses one of the lower 48 guys brought just for that trip, Logan said said "ahh those are nice" in response to the guy showing them off to everyone, Logan then responded, "are these polarized?" the guy said no. Logan slowly responded by handing them back to him and saying with his smirk, "hmmm, practically worthless" We all buckled over with laughter. It's a one liner about non polarized sunglasses on a fishing trip my whole family still uses today.

So sorry to hear of Logan passing on. What a long fight.

We worked together one summer years ago and we would go fishing after work. He had a canoe strapped to the roof of what I believe was his parents Volvo.

Logan was our neighbor on Lignite Ave when he was a little boy. We loved seeing him at our door. Such a fun loving cheerful little kid. He appeared one Christmas Eve took one look at our Christmas tree (. First one we ever bought our kids raised $ for it. They were sick of our "cat spruces" cut down in back woods). His comment which we remember to this day "that tree looks just like Fat Albert ". He certainly lived a full and adventuresome life. ALS Is a horrible desease. We are saddened to hear he was stricken with it.

Such a shock to read this. I remember Logan from school days, long ago. Condolences to his family.

Logan, You will be missed and are much loved. RIP my friend, ❤ Anne

Deepest condolences to the Ricketts family.
Love, Mark & Diane Woodke

My condolences to Logan's family. The photo so perfectly captures Logan's energy and warm spirit.

It's sad to see such a vibrant, lively soul leave us so soon. I feel like he could have done so much more had he the time. And we all would have benefitted. Logan - you will be missed.

It is with the deepest sympathy that my heart goes out to Logan's family. Logan was a vibrant light in this world that will be missed dearly. I will never forget how much fun it was to fish with him on the Chena, the Situk, Willow Creek and our many Gulkana trips. He will forever be in my heart. God Bless.

Logan's trendsetting genius affected us Hamilton Acres kids from the start at Nordale where we gleaned an early appreciation of KISS, corduroy bell bottoms, and ski culture from him. Logan's charm, humor, and infectious zeal for life and adventure live on, and I will see him smiling across the slopes whenever I am out in the alpines.
