He followed in his father’s footsteps and joined the Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity. He was studying psychology so that he could help others.
Logan was a hard worker with a strong work ethic. He got his first job at Champion Fields at age 15 and he never stopped working.
Logan was a friend to all no matter what their connection was to others. He was an avid guitar player and loved to dance. He could light up any room with his smile or his laugh.
Logan loved pets and animals, but most of all, his family; he was the light in all their eyes.
