Logan was a proud graduate of Jefferson High School in Cedar Rapids, where he formed lifelong friendships and discovered his passion for community and sports. He went on to attend Wartburg College, where he loved playing football and made many friends. Though his professional path took him through various endeavors, Logan's true calling shined brightest in his personal life and hobbies. He was an avid member of the CR BMX community and played on several softball teams, including the 12", 14", and 16" leagues, where his enthusiasm and teamwork made him a cherished teammate and friend. Logan loved nothing more than playing softball for Westside Bar and Kickstand. Whether racing on his bike, playing volleyball, golfing, softball, or simply hanging out in the garage sharing laughs with those around him, Logan lived with an energy for life that inspired all who knew him.

On October 30, 2021, in Traer, Iowa, Logan married the love of his life, Amanda Ruffridge, in a celebration that reflected the deep bond they shared. Together, they built a beautiful family, first came their fur baby Koda in 2017, then they welcomed their son, Cooper Ruffridge in 2022, who was the light of Logan's world. As a husband and father, Logan was devoted, protective, and endlessly affectionate, creating memories that will forever comfort those he left behind.
