I recently found a roll of film that I hadn't developed. I got the pictures back today and discovered that they were from at least a year and a half ago and they included this picture of Logan. His friendly face behind the bar at TC will be missed.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT RECENTLY BEFORE LOGAN PASSED AWAY I HAVENT HAD CONTACT WITH HIM BUT I GREW WITH HIM AND HE WAS A VERY KIND AND LOVING PERSON WITH A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR.I HAVE KNOWN HIM FOR MANY YEARS NOW..HIS GRANDPARENTS LIVE NEXT DOOR TO ME AND I REMEMBER EVERY THANKS GIVING THAT ALL THE KIDS AND FAMILY WOULD COME TO THE GRANDPARENTS HOUSE FOR DINNER AND WE WOULD ALL PLAY SOCCER AND BASKETBALL AND I REMEMBER ONE YEAR ME AND RYAN AND LOGAN AND PAUL ALL WENT TO CAMP IT WAS A BLAST...HAVE SOME GREAT MEMORIES OF HIM THAT I WILL CHERISH TO THE FAMILY I REALLY AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS JUST KNOW THAT HE IS IN A BETTER PLACE,DONNA MCCANN

I had met Logan by hanging at his dad's shop. Bob was a kind loving soul and had certainly passed this on to Logan and Kyra. Although I hadn't seen Logan since his dad's passing, coming to Cocoa Beach will seem a little more empty as it did for me and my son Seth when RS left us. God please comfort the family in this time of sorrow. Bye Logan, see you on the other side.

DEAR LOGAN,
SINCE I HEARD THAT YOU WERE GONE, I KEPT SEEING YOUR SMILING FACE EVERYTIME I CLOSED MY EYES, AS THEY FILLED WITH TEARS, I'D START TO LAUGH BECAUSE I WAS
ALWAYS MAD AT YOU FOR BEING LATE FOR WORK AT TACO CITY WITH ALWAYS A GOOD
EXCUSE, YOU OVER SLEPT WAS THE MOST COMMON ONE, OR THAT YOU WERE STILL IN ORLANDO!! OF COURSE I COULD NOT STAY MAD AT YOU VERY LONG BECAUSE YOU HAD THAT GIFT FOR MAKING PEOPLE FORGET WHY THEY WERE MAD AT YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE.
YOU WILL BE MISSED DEARLY,
SINCERELY,
SEAN, MARY, MISHELLE AND RACHAEL GEARY
JULY 30, 2004

It was a pleasure to work with Logan Strickland for the last eight years. He was one of the sharpest and happiest people I have ever known. I will miss lending him my Taco City shirts and razors to make him ready for work. But most of all I will miss his smile and that crazy Logan laugh. We love you Logan......AJ and Marie.

Logan spent time at our house, lived at our house, brought joy to both my sons, Jay & Beau, and to sooo many others .
May the long time sun shine upon you,
May all love surround you,
May the pure light within you,
Giude your way home.
You will be missed very much by your many friends.

I am Logan's mother and I would like to express how touching this webpage is to me. Of course I loved Logan--he was my son--but to see how many other people's lives he touched helps uphold me and the other family members in this tragedy.

I know how excited he was about this webpage when he told me that it was being done for his birthday. He took me into the study to show me the website under construction. Jay, you did a great job of a happy Logan with a crazy robot. The crazy robot is a symbol to me of Logan's offbeat humor, which is a trademark of our family, and shows a part of Logan that lives on in our hearts.

I thank everyone for their outpouring of support. The service was standing room only, a tribute to the effect he had upon people. I cannot thank everyone enough.

It,s hard to put in words the person being missed. I know that the best thing that has ever happend in my life is knowing Logan and living with Logan and his family. He will always be missed by the many people he touched with his one of a kind personality. The way he would brighten up a room not only with his smile but his whole persona is unforgetable. Sometimes in life there are trails and tribulations that are extreamley hard to understand. This is one of them that will probaly never be understood. I know that he made me a better person. I miss you Bro. Ryan (cuz)

logan doesnt play basketball
...without?

I never heard the man gripe once. Never.

Heres a shot of Logan goin big against _____Van_____ and Ryan when Logan played pointguard for The East Coast Surfing Hall of Fame Museum Basketball Team or ECSHFMBT for short.

this site is a nice suprise i had something 2 share but lost it somewhere i really just dont know what 2 say c u @ 13th

There are so many memories that I hold so close to my heart of Logan. 13 years ago meeting at 13th street, spending the summers with Mere, Angelina, Chris and the whole 13th street crew. Logan touched my heart from the second I met him and we understood each other in a very special way. I moved here from Va beach because of friends like him, and memories that involved him. I love you Logan, and this place will never be the same for me.

Logan always had such a good heart. One night he was sleeping over at my house and my five month old daughter woke up in the middle of the night. He got up and held her to put her back to sleep. We have a friend with an eight year old son and Logan made friends with him right away. He seemed so innocent (like an eight year old). He was always willing to help anyone who needed it. I am so mad that this happened.

I met Logan through my older brother Jay, but we became friends, despite our 5 year age difference, when I started working at Taco City. He was the cool older guy, but was my friend even though I was the nerdy junior high guy. Every time I talked to him or hung out with him I felt so good about myself because he was so nice to me. We would take breaks outback and he would just tell me some crazy story that made me laugh. We worked together for about 3 or 4 years and I was always super excited to see that he was on the schedule when I was working. He lived on just about EVERY house on 13th street, so his house was always just a walk away.

One time I'll never forget is when we were playing drums and guitar and he was sitting in an inflatable chair. We rocked so hard that he fell and did a backwards summersault off the chair, still playing, and continued to solo while laying on the ground. We both erupted in uncontrolable laughter.

No matter what was going on, as soon as Logan was there, everything was super fun. He always made me feel really important every time I saw him. He would run up to me and yell "BEAU, WHATSUP DUDE!" with a great big smile and a friendly hi-fiving hand. I will always remember you, Logan.

i met logan surfing one day at palm ave. he was so full of life and had a passion for surfing. he could always make you laugh and you could tell he cared. i was never a "friend" jsut an aquantance. but those few times we surfed and talked at taco city were memorable. miss you always logan.

I have an image burned into memory of these two little guys running down the beach at 13th street. Logan with his trademark "Greg Noll at Pipe" style baggies- he must have worn those for like 2 years or something, and his buddy Steven. they always had a longboard, and they always had a fishing pole, and they were always at 13th street.

it was such a common ocurrence that i almost still expect to see them there whenever i roll up to the crossover.

it was fun to know Logan.

Handsome Loagz,

Yet another light was taken from our 13th Street family. With heavy hearts we will fill our beach with scented flowers.

Come nightfall, I will gaze skyward seeking comfort in the soft starlight -- your bright smile forever young in my minds eye.

I borrow from our brother John when I advise your spirit, Go Gently, young man, go gently.

My heart is so broken. Death is for the old like me not for the young. Logan was such a gentle loving spirit. I think what breaks my heart the most is my grandson "Kai Logan" won't grow up seeing Logan pop in and out for "visits" with updates of "life" from his Godfather. I can only now pray that he is in the loving hands of his Dad, Robert. We all know what an endless search it was for Logan to find peace after that fateful day that took his Dad from him. That is the thought that makes my heart ache a little less. Logan are you with Robert now searching for that "perfect wave", shaping that "perfect board?"
Finally...Rest in Peace Dear sweet Logan

Logan was like a brother to me; he always looked after me and made sure I was happy in whatever I chose to do. He was a simple, goofy, loving guy and all he wanted was for everyone around him to be happy, I feel extremely blessed and lucky to have known such an incredible person. I will cherish all the memories and the experiences we were able to share with each other. He will always be in my heart and in my thoughts, I loved him and I will miss him so much. My love and prayers go out to his family.

Logan meant so much to me and my family, so much that I consider him more than a friend, and more of a brother. We had so many good times together that it is hard to focus on one event to get me through this. His laugh was infectious and the way he always had a smile was something that I will always remember and look up to him for.

He had so much love around him and was willing to share that love with everyone he was with and strangers he met along the way, he was the embodiment of the spirit of Cocoa Beach to me.

I so looked forward to the days that we would be old and gray sitting down on the crosswalk at 13th, sipping Bushmill, complaining that kids today don't know how to lay down a proper rail turn.

I will miss him calling up out of the blue and drawling, "Riiiilllleeessss" on the phone in a voice that would always pick me up on the dreariest day.

There are so many things that I will miss, but most of all I'll miss him coming over and spending time with my son, Kai Logan. When my son was born we gave him the middle name, Logan, as a "tip of the hat" to his friendship to me and my family. He was so proud that Kai Logan was named after him and that he was his Godfather. Even though Logan is gone from us in the physical realm, Kai, to me, will be a daily reminder of Logan's spirit and his love for my family will be something that will never be forgotten.

My families heart and mine go out to everyone else that is hurting over Logan's passing.

Take care,
Ryan Gilmore
