Sean Robert Logan

Sean Robert Logan was born at Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip, New York on the 15th of April - Holy Thursday 1976. At 7 lbs. 14 oz. Patricia and Paul Logan's newborn was robust enough to withstand Long Island's hottest Easter Sunday on record when the very young couple brought their 3-day old boy back home to Deer Park.
For Grandpa Logan it was love at first sight. His often-hard heart softened by the arrival of his beautiful new grandson...Vincent and Dorothy Logan's first grandchild.
Sean was also embraced with an abundance of affection and attention from his mom's side of the family. Mama & Papa Berding along with Patty's five siblings adored the baby as did numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. In 1979 Sean was blessed with a baby brother Timothy and two years after that along came Kerry - Sean's beloved little sister.
Sean spent most of his first dozen years in Deer Park where he attended the School of Ss. Cyril and Methodius through 7th grade.
Upon his parent's divorce Sean and his mom and his brother and his sister moved to Southampton where he attended class at Southampton Intermediate and Southampton High School from grades 8 - 12, where he was an active member of the band and bowling team before graduating S.H.S. in 1994.
Sean's mother Patty married Michael Mackey in September 1990 bringing together their four children - Sean Logan, Tim Logan, Kerry Logan and Brian Mackey. In 1992 the family welcomed their fifth child Dorothy Patricia Mackey who was immediately beloved by all her siblings - none more so than Sean.
During Sean's adolescent years his step-dad Mickey...as he's known to family and childhood friends...started taking the boy to work with him at Hampton Jitney. Encouraged by H.J.'s new owner J. Brent Lynch and from invaluable mentoring provided by supportive staff in The Omni, Sean learned the transportation business from the inside out, as respected professionals taught him about booking reservations, scheduling staff, and hiring rental buses. He regularly rode from Manhattan to Montauk and back, careful not to be obtrusive. Indeed, he paid attention in a manner that belied his age; observing drivers navigate the challenges of N.Y.C. while they safely operated a 46+ passenger deluxe motorcoach; or watching attendants serving refreshments as they collected fares long before high tech handheld smart phones existed, ever noticing how conflict resolution skills proactively applied can be quite effective addressing even some of "The Jitney's" more demanding riders.
For the better part of his adult life Sean worked in the field of transportation from New York to Nevada to Florida, invariably advancing rapidly within whatever company hired him, whether he started there as a driver, dispatcher, sales manager...whatever. Sean's customer service and problem-solving skills were uniquely superb...on the job and off.
As Hampton Jitney recently posted on its Facebook page in remembrance of him, "During his time at HJ, Sean worked in different capacities, including as a Trip Host, Motorcoach Driver, and Dispatcher. His calm demeanor and friendly smile served him well in this demanding service business." Geoffrey Lynch, President of Hampton Jitney, Inc. and the son of the man who supported the teenage Sean's keen interest in his company stated, "Sean was very well-regarded at HJ and we were all saddened to hear about his sudden passing."
As were hundreds more who mourn his loss in family and friendship.
Sean Robert Logan per his death notice died on May 24, 2025, of natural causes.
Sean's legacy however lives on through his daughter Brittany Elise Logan and son Tyler James Logan. To both children he was a devoted daddy - an ever loving generously supportive father.
Sean shall also be fondly remembered for generations to come as a fun-loving uncle, a nephew, a cousin, a friend... a beloved brother...our oldest son...and a cherished child of God.
"It is enough to realize one's nothingness and give oneself wholly, like a child, into the arms of our good God."
