Logan Leone
Organ and tissue donor
Age 2 ½ – Las Vegas, NV
donated on 5/25/2016
At Summerlin Hospital
Honored by Dignity Memorial Palm Mortuaries and Cemeteries, Las Vegas
Logan Brett Leone, lovingly known as “Smash” because he smashed everything in his path, passed away at the young age of 2½ years old. Despite his adventurous nature, he was well mannered, and always sure to say “please” and “thank you.” Logan’s infectious smile and his cute, little dimple will always be remembered by everyone who met him. Before his passing, Logan’s parents held him in their arms as they said their final goodbyes to their beloved son, and they both made the difficult, but selfless decision to save others’ lives by donating Logan’s liver, kidneys, and heart valves. Their courageous act of love for their son has saved several lives, including the life of a toddler who was in desperate need of a liver. Logan’s legacy will continue to shine brightly through “Logan’s Light Children’s Humane Education Program” in Brighton, Michigan, a program that educates children about animal care, empathy and respect towards animals.
Logan’s Story
Logan Brett Leone, lovingly known as “Smash” because he smashed everything in his path, passed away at the young age of 2½ years old. Despite his adventurous nature, he was well-mannered, and always sure to say “please” and “thank you.” Logan’s infectious smile and his cute, little dimple will always be remembered by everyone who met him.
Unfortunately, precious Logan had to be removed from life support. While his parents held him in their arms as they said their final goodbyes to their beloved son, and, as tears were streaming down their faces, they both made the selfless decision to save others’ lives by donating Logan’s liver, kidneys, and heart valves. Their courageous act of love for their son has saved several lives, including the life of a toddler who was in desperate need of a liver.
Logan’s legacy will continue to shine brightly through “Logan’s Light Children’s Humane Education Program” in Brighton, Michigan. Logan’s Light educates children about animal care and the nurturing principals of empathy and respect towards animals. All in all, Logan’s family will never know the true impact on how the donation has influenced the lives of others, but his family is grateful for this honor and that he will forever be remembered.
