Kim Logan, 66, of Lafayette, passed away peacefully at University Hospital in Indianapolis, IN on Sunday, January 8, 2023. His death marks the final end of a long and challenging illness, during which Kim showed great strength through moments of both hope and heartbreak. His family and friends will always be inspired by Kim’s bravery and gentle spirit throughout the immense difficulties of liver disease, dialysis, organ transplant, chemotherapy, and more. He was born on October 18, 1956, in Marion, IN to the late Milford Logan, Jr. and Loucille (Logan) Kelly. He graduated from Purdue University in 1979 with a degree in computer science. Kim married the love of his life, Lynda (Smith) Logan, on August 2, 1980, and she survives.

Kim enjoyed collecting trinkets, popping tags at Goodwill, gardening—he loved reviving plants from the clearance section, traveling, listening to an eclectic variety of music and books, spending time with his grandchildren and playing Peppa Pig. He had a big personality and loved to share it with others.

Kim spent his career working for various software companies in research and software program development and retired in 2015. He enjoyed retirement; especially his part time jobs at both Walmart and Menards. He took pride in making unique flowerbeds and filling them with revived plants and flowers.

Surviving with his wife are children Kelsey Logan (Brent Synesael), Paige Logan, Tim Logan and Jasmin Salazar. Grandchildren Madison Hayes, Avery Synesael, Caden Bolden-Salazar, Piper Synesael and A’nora Smith. Kim is also survived by siblings Guy Logan, Robyn (Logan) Todd and Mitch Logan.

Kim was lucky enough to receive a liver and kidney transplant in May 2022 and had hopes for a renewed life. He was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive lymphoma in September 2022 and endured 3 rounds of chemotherapy. The family encourages people to register to be an organ donor as it could save someone’s life.

Kim was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Greg Logan, best friend, Bill Johnson, and several extended family members.

A visitation will be held at Grace United Methodist Church, 615 N 22nd Street Lafayette, IN on January 13, 2023, from 5 pm-8 pm. The celebration of life will be held at Grace United Methodist Church in Lafayette, IN on January 14, 2023, at 12 pm, with visitation an hour prior. Pastor Jake Ohlemiller will be officiating the service. The family requests memorial contributions be given to Grace United Methodist Church. You may leave condolences at www.soller-baker.com

Lynda, I am so thankful that I was able to meet you and Kim during his hospital stays. You both have inspired me to always do my best with registering a patient and make sure all is ok so you don't have to deal with more with denials in medical bills. Your love for Kim was so obvious and his determination and grit was inspiring to witness. I will never forget you both, the love and support you gave him and his grit and determination to fight. He fought with all his might. May he rest in peace. I will always walk the halls and think about the love always coming from his room. May God hold you all tight. My sincere condolences to you all. It was a blessing in my life to witness true love.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Lynda, Meeting you and Kim in University Hospital during the time that both men were struggling with liver disease was, believe it or not, a bright memory in our lives. Even to this day, 18 months later, we remember both of you fondly and often wonder how you are doing. We are both sad to hear the news of Kim's passing and wish we were there to give you a hug. Tim and Jody Stanley

I am so sorry for Kim's passing and the heartbreak that comes with it. I will never forget the fun trip to North Carolina, the many many many nights and days spent at your house...tying things to something to drop from the vent upstairs to downstairs, playing Go Fish with "George" aka Kim, sprinkling salt on slugs, catching lightning bugs, eating Cheez Balls and french fries, Kim's laughter watching the ice skaters fall down and his seriousness watching Star Trek..., and of course the never-ending stories of how my colic crying as a baby drove him so crazy he sat me outside. He will be greatly missed. Love to you all! Rest in peace, Uncle Kim. <3
