It is with profound sorrow and deepest love that we announce the passing of Logan Garrett Cogdill, age 24, who left this side of eternity far too soon on May 9, 2025. Logan was a man of devoted faith, fierce loyalty, and a heart that beat with purpose and service.
Born on June 19, 2000, in Austin Texas, Logan was a bright light from the beginning—a son, brother, and friend whose life was rooted in faith, family, service, and Texas Longhorns football. Growing up, Logan was a social student always in pursuit of connection. Logan was also observant of his father’s and grandfather’s veteran legacies and listened and learned what it was to look to things bigger than yourself. Logan learned to love his country, the spirit of brotherhood and carried these values in his core: courage, freedom, responsibility, service, and sacrifice. His service to our country was an opportunity to put these values into action. He was an exceptional soldier, serving with great strength and humility. The military marked Logan’s life in many ways, but anyone who worked with him or came in contact with him was better because of his time as a soldier.
Logan trained as a Cavalry Scout in the United States Army, a role that placed him in the front. A role that marks his character to first contact but also to look after and look forward. His military role was amplified by his Graduation from Ranger School at the age of 19. Logan persevered to be elite and was willing to do this with humility and fortitude.
Hard work wasn’t just a trait Logan possessed—it was a language he spoke fluently. Logan had no fear of it. Whether on a job site, at the gym, for his health, or with his family, he put his whole heart into everything he did. His hands are the hands of a man who never shied away from effort, and his life bore the fruits of that labor—respect earned, lives touched, and work done in excellence.
Logan loved his people deeply. To Logan, “his people” meant anyone who needed a helping hand, a listening ear, or someone who simply showed up. He stayed late to help, worked extra without complaint, and could be counted on by his family and friends with unswerving loyalty. “Logan Leader” was an inside joke to some, but anyone who knew him knew that Logan led—with loyalty, grace, a well-placed joke, and ultimately with love.
Logan loved Jesus, and Jesus loved Logan. His relationship with God shaped every part of who he was. His faith was a lived-out faith, wrestled and worked at, but always exhibited through his kindness, service, and love.
Logan’s legacy is one not measured in years but in the depth of his character and the love he so freely gave. Logan’s reach was vast in such a short time. He is survived by his wife, Kennedy Marie Cogdill; his parents, Tracy and Karen Cogdill; his brothers: Garrison, Grayson, and Clark Cogdill; his in-laws: Jason, Caitlin, Tucker, and Addison Garrett; numerous family members in Colorado, Nebraska and Texas; and countless friends who are forever changed by knowing him.
Logan walked in faith, served with strength, and loved without limits. In his honor, let us strive to live as he did—with hands ready to work, hearts open to others, and eyes fixed on what matters most.

17 May 2025Logan was a close friend of mine during my time at Fort Carson. He always had a positive attitude and was one of the only people who believed in me. For a few months he went to the gym with me every day to help me improve myself. Any accomplishment i made, he gave me motivation and cheered. He would always play with my kids at every social event we would go to and they loved playing with him. His presence really did make a difference everywhere he went. I’m sorry for your loss.. He was a good man and an example of what it is to be a Soldier and Leader.
