Logan was a bright and compassionate soul whose presence lit up every room he entered. His smile carried warmth, his wit brought laughter, and his playful humor had a way of easing heavy moments. More importantly, he had a natural gift for making people feel seen, valued, and understood, no matter who they were.

Logan loved his family deeply, and he poured his heart into those closest to him. He cherished time with his friends, always bringing joy, music, and laughter to their lives. His curiosity about the world drew others in, and his vibrant spirit left a lasting impression wherever he went.

Some of Logan’s happiest memories came from simple moments. Whether fishing with his granddad, hunting for treasures at flea markets, or listening to music with Scott, Logan found joy in experiences that connected him to others. He carried a big heart, a generous spirit, and a passion for life that people couldn’t help but notice.

More than his struggles

Logan was more than his struggles with addiction. He was a son, a friend, a nephew, and a grandson who loved deeply and gave freely. His life mattered, and his love continues to ripple outward through the people who carry his memory. Even in loss, his spirit still inspires connection, compassion, and courage.

As a child, Logan was first diagnosed with ADHD. Like so many families, we trusted the medical advice of the time and followed the treatment path offered—prescription medication. At the time, it felt like the best option. However, what we didn’t fully realize was how untreated mental health struggles and childhood trauma can quietly deepen into wounds that later lead to substance use disorder.

Over the years, those unresolved struggles grew heavier. They became part of the foundation that eventually led Logan toward heroin use. Yet, in today’s poisoned drug supply, there is no such thing as “just heroin.”

One last time

Logan’s final dose was not heroin at all. Instead, it was a toxic and fatal mix of cocaine, xylazine, and fentanyl. His death is not just a personal tragedy—it is part of a national crisis that continues to claim too many lives.

Logan’s story is a heartbreaking reminder of why fentanyl awareness and overdose prevention matter so deeply. It highlights the urgent need to address mental health, trauma, and stigma before they grow into struggles that feel impossible to face.

Ending stigma saves lives. Overdose prevention saves families. About Logan, we say this: his life mattered, his love was real, and his voice still speaks through us today.
