Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute
Michael Lee “Mike” Logan, 61, passed away during the early hours of August 31, 2020, after an almost decade long battle with multiple myeloma.
Mike was born on January 26, 1959, to Donald and Norma Logan. He grew up in Vienna, Missouri, where he graduated from Vienna High School in 1977. After high school, he completed a program at Linn Tech in Jefferson City. He moved from Jefferson City to Kansas City in 1979.
While working at Black and Veatch, he met Jamie– his wife of almost thirty years. They built a wonderful life together. They joyfully raised their three children, Emily, Michael, and Dalton, and made many special friendships with neighbors and coworkers through the years. They also enjoyed traveling together. Mike was a loving and dedicated husband. He truly lived the phrase “happy wife, happy life”.
Mike was also an excellent father and teacher to their children. He taught them the value of hard work and life-long learning. His greatest joy came from having all of his kids together for a meal. Mike worked tirelessly to provide a comfortable life for his family. He was the epitome of a family man and took exceptional pride in his kids.
The most significant lesson Mike would teach all who knew him began in 2012 when he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Mike participated in countless clinical trials and was a true trailblazer in the fight to learn as much as possible about myeloma. Jamie stayed by his side caring for him endlessly as his body endured great pains to prolong his life and to contribute to the research of treatments for others. There was not a medication or procedure he denied during his cancer journey. True to Mike’s character, he continued working between procedures until the last year and a half of his life.
Mike was thrilled to become a “PopPop” in 2017 when his first two grandchildren were born three months apart. He found great joy in watching them grow, and he provided welcome insight to his kids that only a grandparent can give.
He is preceded in death by: his grandparents, Louis and Christine Renkemeyer, James A. and Pearl Logan and granddaughter, Kacie Mireya Johnson.
He is survived by: his loving wife, Jamie; his son and daughter-in-law, Michael and Amber Logan; his son Dalton Logan; his daughter and son-in-law, Emily and Matt Johnson; his parents, Donald and Norma Logan; his grandchildren, Langstynn, Benjamin, Jameson, and Everleigh; his brother and sister-in-law, Ronald and Sheila Logan, and numerous nieces and nephews as well as countless close friends, extended family members and Miss Gladys the very special bulldog that brought Mike much love and joy.
In the last week of Mike’s life, he showed all who knew him the power of acceptance. It was during this time he demonstrated the greatest victory can be found in the surrender. Mike had truly been fighting a harrowing battle, and he was ready to experience freedom once more. He spent his final days with his family and friends. He was able to spend a day with his boys working on his beloved 1968 corvette. In the end, when he stopped the battle, he traded his pain for his well earned wings.
What a wonderful tribute to a loving father, son, husband and pop pop. He will be deeply missed by all but will live on in their hearts and never be forgotten. Our sincere condolences to all his family and friends.
My heart is heavy for the entire family after hearing this. My favorite memory of Mike was when he took me on a cruise in that pretty corvette. Love you all! Sending my love and prayers. May you seek peace in the memories of beautiful times had with this kind man.
What a wonderful tribute to Mike!
Our deepest sympathies To all of you!
So many great memories from back in the day!
May he now Rest In Peace!

Mike was a great friend. We shared a lot in common in high school and then in career path. I spoke with him when this cancer started and he was always upbeat ready to face life. A great friend, father and worker. Prayers for the family as you move forward.
You were so lucky to have a man like like Mike. He was always so much fun to be around. Deepest sympathy to Everyone. Great tribute to him. Rest in peace .Mike
Jamie my thoughts and prayers are with you and your lovely family. I know how much you will miss your Mike. You have lots of good memories and just know he is no longer in pain and in a good place now. I have been kept informed of Mikes struggles from your future neighbors and friends. It’s been years since our paths crossed, although I remember your generosity to my Daughter & Son- in-law, Sharon & Pat Winsler. God is Good and will carry you through your loss. God Bless You. ??
What a wonderful obituary. He sounded like a great role model and a great inspiration for his entire family. May he Rest In Peace. Sending prayers for the family.
What a great Tribute to Mike, he was a classmate who I will never forget; his kindness, his smile. I pray for peace, comfort & protection for ALL thru this difficult time. May GOD be with you ALL.
So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers to your family.
A wonderful man and co-worker that I’ve always respected and cared much for. He knew what was important in life and how to prioritize it properly. Another great man we will miss and whom was much appreciated for all of his contributions to our lives not only professionally but emotionally as friends and colleagues.
Mike=smile! Always smiling and just a happy nice guy. Jamie and family, my heart breaks for you all. He loved you so much. Such a blessing and great memories.
Fly high Mike?????
Sorry, I used emojis in my post and they were changed to question marks. I apologize. Fly high Mike!
A beautiful tribute to Mike. I will miss my beloved nephew. He was never to busy to sit and visit with me. He truly cared about his family, immediate and extended. He was warm, kind, and a gentle man. He always had a smile on his face. Dealing with myeloma had to be very difficult but you never knew it when you were around him. He was always pleasant and smiling. Rest In Peace, Mike. We will see you again in the Heavenly Kingdom. Prayers for his family. In the words of our Savior Jesus Christ. “Peace be with you. My peace I give you.” I pray you will fill the warmth and comfort of Jesus’ Peace each time you think of Mike and remember the many good times you had with him.
Prayers and comfort to the Logan family.
Very sorry to hear this! Our condolences to the family. Mike and I grew up together in Vienna back in the kinder, gentler 70’s. Gone too soon.
Jamie, Emily, Michael And Dalton, I am very sorry for your Loss.
I am very grateful that I knew Mike, was able to work with him and could called him friend.
Sorry we didn’t have that car show in the driveway.
Rest in Peace my friend.
Mike and I met early in our careers, he was at B&V (KC) and I was at LCRA (Texas).
We bonded immediately.
He was directly responsible for my success as he was my “payed” Consultant.
God Bless you Mike!!!
My G-kids also call me PopPop.
RIP my friend.???
I worked with Mike off and on for over 20 years until I retired a year and a half ago. He always kept a positive attitude regardless of the situation. Will miss talking with him about the Vette and motorcycles. My wife and I will be thinking about Mike’s family.
Logan family, I am sorry for your loss and was shocked to hear of Mike’s struggle and passing. In our short time working together, Mike could surely brighten your day with that little snicker and smile of his. An avid fisherman who cherished his family and proud of that yellow ’68 Corvette. Rest in peace Michael.
What a beautiful eulogy! I did not know Mike but knew Jamie as a teen. My heart goes out to you, Jamie and the rest of the family as you grieve this great loss. Hugs to all, and what a great hope we have that we will see our loved ones again someday!
I grew up with Mike in Vienna and we attended Visitation School together. He was always the sensible one, with a good heart. In high school Mike was an excellent athlete, a heck of an auto mechanic–he knew how to tune a car—fearless. We crossed path years later and he was still as friendly as ever. Godspeed, Mike Logan.
I always enjoyed my Time with Mike. We enjoyed talking about cars and having a good laugh. RIP Mike.
