A wonderful young man who left us too soon.
Theresa Arrington Perdue lifting your family in prayer. Love you all very much.
Many thoughts and prayers for the family. Sincerely, Paula and Tamara Wynn
He once saved a show we were doing at Asbury. Our sound guy hadn’t shown up. We were 15 minutes before curtain. My wife Carol, who was the director, looked at Logan who was in the green room (and had snuck in so he wouldn’t have to pay for the show 🙂 and said, “Logan can you run sound tonight!?” And Logan simply shrugged, smiled, and said, “Sure.” He went upstairs to the sound booth and very calmly saved the whole show that night!
But I will always remember him as the director of The Hobbit with a cast of “thousands,” Noah Clark’s gollum, and Aiden’s enormous and beautiful dragon’s head. Logan pulled all that together and created an amazing experience for students.
We will miss his talent, his heart, and his smiling presence.
A pause in what’s to be,
A resting place along the road,
To sweet eternity.
We all have different journey’s,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay….
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey’s quicker,
For some the journey’s slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We’ll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.
