I'm so sorry to hear about Logan. May God comfort you.
Trudy/Pat,
We love you so much. Tiffany and I will cherish our memory of being with you while watching Logan play his basketball game over the New Years break. We've been praying for you night and day and you are constantly on our minds.
Love, David, Tiffany, Elianah, and Chloe
What can be said about Logan Hankins that isn't already known? Mere words seem inadequate for the passion that Logan exhibited in all areas of his life. His work ethic and good attitude are things we could all learn from. His love for Christ was unquestionable. A competitor, a leader, a friend.
I cannot help but think of the big dreams that I had for him on the football field. The next two years, he was going to play an integral part of the football team. I had thought of all the positions that Logan could play for the Wildcats. I came to the conclusion that Logan may need to be able to play any position on any given week. The scary thing is that this conclusion did not scare me. I knew Logan would know what to do and do it well. I could count on Logan to give me everything that he had.
Undeniably, I'll be faced with situations the next two years that I won't be able to help but ask myself what things would be like if Logan were there. Hearing about firework sales at summer pride on hot July mornings, watching his feet move like pistons through the training ladder in the gym, or answering the many questions he had on the practice field just to make sure that he knew the responsibilities of every position on the field are just a few of the moments that I will miss. But I know that Logan would want us to keep moving forward and giving it our all, so I'll hold on to the nostalgic memories that I have. I'll have to focus on not what could have been with Logan still here, but rather on what it was like when Logan was here. Those same memories will come to mind on the first day of two-a-days, or the first crisp October evening under the Friday night lights, but I'll remember not to think of what Logan could have been, but instead, I'll think about who he was, a coach's dream.
Dear Trudy and Pat and family,
So sorry for your loss. I can not begin to imagine the magnitude of your pain at this time but God heals all wounds and broken hearts and he will see you all thru this. Meanwhile you have your memories to carry you through and the knowledge that you will see Logan again someday. May God comfort you all at this trying time.
Patrick and Trudy and Family:
So sorry about your son. The death of a child is the most heartbreaking loss you can suffer. Our children are blessings sent to us by God and sometimes. we get to keep them for just a short time. Please know we are thinking about you.

Trudy - As the mother of 2 children, my heart breaks for you and Pat. There are no words. But I lift you and your family before our Savior Jesus Christ, and I ask Him to send the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, to minister to you. I am so thankful that, as Scripture says, we do not mourn as heathens who have no hope. Our hope is in the Lord. He never fails. Trust Him Trudy, lean on Him, and let Him carry you through this darkest of valleys. I love you my sister in Christ, and I will continue to pray.
Camry, Sierra and Family, We are so sorry for your loss, our family is praying for your family.
