“Above all, family meant everything to Logan. The five siblings share a special bond, and his presence will be forever missed, but never forgotten.”

“Ball hockey was another one of Logan’s passions; it took him all over the country along with overseas, where he represented Team Canada … Logan also represented Saskatchewan at men’s ball hockey nationals,” the program read.
“When Logan was off the ice, he excelled in track and field. He also loved golfing, working out in the gym, being the life of the party (he was the beer pong champion), and at a young age, he even experimented in dance.”
Allan is approximately 35 kilometres southeast of Saskatoon.
