Logan had the biggest heart. He loved his family and friends. He would do anything for anyone and was intentional with his actions and words. He loved playing cards, just being silly, and singing in the shower (usually very loudly).   He enjoyed the simpler things in life like being outside and staring at the stars. He enjoyed running and participated in several half marathons as well as one full marathon. He loved taking walks in the park with his dog Scout.

He was an avid Arkansas Razorback fan who was more often than not wearing some piece of Razorback attire. No matter the season, no matter the sport, Logan loved them all. Not only did he enjoy watching sports, he excelled as an athlete in multiple sports. From a very early age, he seemed to always have a ball in his hand and would toss it back and forth with anyone he could persuade to play with him.

His career involved working with the special needs community. First, as an educator in the North Little Rock School District then through the Departments of Parks and Recreation in Benton as an Activities Programmer and in Little Rock as a Therapeutic Recreation Specialist. He worked closely with the Miracle League of  Benton, Arkansas; starting the program in Benton. His goal was to always show love and value to that community so that they would feel empowered to live full lives.

He loved the Lord and was passionate about taking care of all God’s creation, wanting to leave it better than he found it. He participated in numerous mission trips both in the United States and abroad. While on these trips, whether it was painting houses, helping with hurricane relief, or interacting with the children, Logan always put his whole heart into it. He left a huge imprint on every life he touched. Logan loved deeply and was loved deeply. He had a smile that lit up a room. People were drawn to him due to his engaging personality, infectious laugh, and loving heart. Logan was loved by many and will be deeply missed.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Logan’s name to the Arkansas Special Olympics.

Services will be on Saturday, April 13 at 10:00 a.m. at the Sylvan Hills Church of Christ.
