Lester Logan

Lester Leroy Logan, age 69, passed away on December 26, 2025. He was adored by everyone who knew him and will be deeply missed. Lester was a priceless husband, father, grandfather, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, and friend. His presence, laughter, and unwavering integrity left a lasting mark on all who were blessed to know him.

Lester was a man of strong character, immense generosity, and deep faith. He loved his God, his family, his neighbors, and his career wholeheartedly. Known for his brilliant mind and quick wit, he had a wonderful sense of humor and brought joy wherever he went.

He graduated from Lake Oswego High School in 1974 and later earned an Associate's Degree in Mechanical Engineering in Oregon. His career designing and installing sawmill equipment took him and his family across the country, living in Tennessee, North Carolina, Arkansas, Florida, and Mississippi.

Lester had a passion for athletics and competition. He enjoyed watching and playing football, coached ladies' softball, and was especially competitive in racquetball. He participated in track and field (shot put), tennis, weight training, and lacrosse. In quieter moments, he found relaxation in great music, movies, and drama-drama class being one of his favorites.

Lester was married to his best friend and the love of his life, Elizabeth Ann Goodner, for 41 wonderful years. Together, they built a beautiful life and were devoted parents to their son, Sawyer Eli Logan, who was the center of their world. Lester was also a proud grandfather to Ivy and Elijah Logan, and their mother, Danielle Stephens.

He was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Katherine Logan; stepfather, Mike Scuito; mother-in-law, Martha Fowler; and father-in-law, Charles Goodner.

He is survived by his loving wife, Elizabeth Logan; son, Sawyer Eli Logan; grandchildren, Ivy and Elijah Logan; sisters, Jewell Walker and Dominica (James) Roby; sisters-in-law, Mary (James) Newton, Joyce (Tommy) Wilhoit, and Connie Cartwright; along with many cherished nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family members. Lester also held a special place in his heart for his neighbors at Garden Plaza and his countless dear friends.

"We love you. See you in Paradise, Lester - L3 forever."- Elizabeth and Sawyer.
