away amongst family in Eagle Mountain on March 12, 2022. Born on May 21, 2012 in Riverton,
Utah to Garth and Rebecca Gagnier, Logan was the 4th of five children, but didn’t let being the
middle child deter him from his dreams.
Logan was brimming with energy and enthusiasm. His excitement was infectious and filled the room with life and light. His classrooms. The basketball court. The football field. Our home. He gave everything to the people around him. Sometimes Logan would complain about how tired and exhausted he was and now we know why: Logan was giving everything he had because he would only have nine years to give it all. Logan made you feel like you were the most important person in the world. He spent most of his life trying to get people to do things with him. Throw the football. Watch a movie. Go to Arctic Circle. Play
Rocket League. Watch my basketball game. Play Mandalorian Monopoly. He loved people and
had so many friends. For his 9th birthday, he decided that he wanted everybody over for pizza
and a football game. The entire neighborhood came. One of his best friends hadn’t ever played
football before so he stopped the game and showed her how to play and made sure that she
had a fun time amongst all of the boys.
People were everything to him. He loved sports, especially football. He started playing flag
football when he was 6 and won two Eagle Mountain championships over the last three years.
This year, he started playing tackle football in hopes that one day he would be good enough to
play high school and maybe even college. He was so proud when he learned how to put on his
pads by himself and loved getting up early on Saturday mornings and making the long drive to
his games. He wanted everybody to know how hard playing football was but also how much he
loved it. Logan’s love for football emerged from his love for BYU Football. When he was 7, he
spent hours watching Jamal Williams highlights on Youtube and fancied himself a future BYU
running back. That same year, he had two huge touchdown runs in flag football. After the
games, we would go home and watch BYU Football games and, after Zac Wilson led BYU to a
12-1 record, his fandom was sure. This year, he found a “Top 100 BYU Football plays of all
time” video and he would spend hours watching it on repeat with his little brother Mason. He
also loved basketball. He played Junior Jazz and club basketball the last three years and led his
Junior Jazz team in scoring and assists this year. He missed the first game of the year, but
played in the last 7 and went undefeated. He was determined to win every game this year and
was so proud of how good of a passer he was becoming. In one of the last plays of the season,
Logan passed up a wide open layup to give the ball to a teammate to score. He wanted so
badly to include everybody and make sure that everybody was having a good time.
Logan was a great reader. We had determined early to encourage him to read often and that
became something that he loved. He enjoyed having one of his siblings or parents read to him
at night, but got so good at reading that he started reading on his own and had read multiple
book series in the last year. When it was time to go to bed, Logan could often be found in his
room already reading or reading a book to his younger brother. Family was the most important
thing in Logan’s life. He loved his parents and siblings, especially Mason. They did everything
together. They watched Youtube together. Played football. Ate cereal. Madden. Watched Jazz
games. Played basketball. Went to BYU Football games. They were inseparable. Logan was a
great big brother to Mason and loved his little brother so much. Logan loved his parents
immensely. He was fiercely loyal to them and believed in them. When the family made the
decision to wake up at 6 AM every day last year to read scriptures, Logan was always the first
one to come down and read. Sundays were Logan’s least favorite days because he hated
wearing church clothes but he always did it because Mom wanted him to.
Above all, Logan’s spirit was too much for this world. He was the most loving, caring,
tender-hearted boy and he will be infinitely missed. He was everything that you would want in a
son. Losing him is the greatest of losses. Our hearts are broken. Logan was preceded in death
by his grandparents, John and Diane Gagnier, and his uncles, Kimball and Joshua
Foster. He is survived by his grandparents Brian and Teri Sheppard, parents, Garth and
Rebecca Gagnier; siblings Ryan, Lily, Ashley, and Mason; and his favorite buddy, Korra, our dog.
