We appreciate the stories, thoughts and prayers of both those who knew Jaxon and those who've only heard stories of him.


We turned off the guestbook but plan to leave the existing comments up for as long as possible.

Who was Jaxon?

Jaxon Kent Logan. Who am I? Well there are several obvious things about who I am, such as; I am the youngest of four children. I have two dogs, two birds and a cat named frosty. I have lived in Palmer all of my life - even being born at Valley Hospital. Now, these are the boring facts, but who really cares, I want to tell you who I really am.

First of all, let me share what I like. I started skating at age four around our family ice rink, holding onto the back of a chair. That was the beginning of a love affair with hockey. I have been skating for over 12 years and have played hockey for 9 years. I love the sport because it requires coordination, skill and discipline. It has been a family tradition starting with my dad playing hockey in school, followed by my older brother Dustin playing for Palmer High School and now I trail in their footsteps. I started snowboarding three years ago. I love being outdoors and I love the snow. It is my source of entertainment, which brings me to my favorite activity - snowmobiling. If I am not going 100 miles an hour then I am just not happy. I spend a lot of winter days on my sled. It is a time to be with friends and with my family. It is also a time to be alone. I can get on my sled and just go. I can forget any troubles I may be having. It is my way of releasing stress. Even during the summer months, I can be found sitting on my snow machine dreaming of the winter days past and those to come. In the land of the midnight sun, I fill the long days with fishing and hunting. I started fishing when I was old enough of hold a pole. My dad would strap me to the back of the truck and I would fish with him until I caught my limit. To this day, my dad and I are still great at getting up at 4:00am to slay the Silvers.

I am glad I live in Alaska; it gives me the chance to have fun things to do because one thing I do not like is to be bored. I like being busy. I hate the feeling of not having something to do. It gives me a feeling of being worthless. I wonder why I am sitting at home when all my friends are out having fun. I like to be involved and doing something worthwhile. I also do not like zucchini. No matter how my mom tries to disguise it, zucchini bread, zucchini soup, zucchini in stir fry, it all tastes the same - like zucchini. And I do not like zucchini - any way!

So far I have shared what I like and what I do not like. However, to find out who I really am, one would have to understand my beliefs, because my life to this point has been strongly shaped by those principles. I believe it is important to stand for something. The standards I have chosen to follow give me a guideline for my life. I have decided to stay away from drugs or drinking alcohol. I want to be honest when dealing with other people. I think it is important to be kind and to treat other with respect, especially with girls. A lot of my friends, who are girls, appreciate the way I treat them. I don't say inappropriate comments to get a laugh from my buddies. I would rather have the respect from the girls anyway. I even open the car door for my mom. I believe in the principles of strong families and good marriages. These lessons were taught to me by my parents. I also believe that it is important to have a spiritual side. My parents taught me about prayer and religion. Through my own personal study and prayer I have come to find out the truth of these things for myself. The things I have learned will be the foundation for the rest of my life and my family's life to come.

My likes and dislikes an my beliefs and behaviors have created me. I am Jaxon Kent Logan.

Jaxon , you've been kind of a role model to me . I play hockey as well & I can say that I love it . I did a project in grade 5 about you . Today I'm in grade 7 . You seem like a nice guy . I've been playing hockey for at least 3 years . When I heard this story about how you died during a game , it made me realize that you accomplished your dream . Now its time for me to do the same . Work Hard . As every hockey coach would say . It must been hard for your family , to go thru this . You were 19 . When I have my first hockey game , I'll give a shout out to you for helping me not give up .

Hey Jax,
I was just talking to my other lil brother and we were talking about how much Cole looks like you. I had to laugh going through the pictures because I can totally see Lanie right now in you and Chaur. I love that they have that connection. Thanks for taking care of Josh. It's amazing that even though you are no longer here on this earth, you are still doing missionary work. He feels that connection with you and I know that you are looking out for him. Miss you brother. As we celebrate this Easter weekend I am reminded not only of the Atonement and the sacrifice that Christ made for us, but that because of Him I will get to be with you again. Love you.

We had a lot of good times together that have created many memories, and of those they are some of my fondest! I love you Jax and you were always the big brother to me that I needed. You have no idea how much you influenced me in our time together. Rock on forever bro!!!

Miss you dude! I just went through my photos the other day and pulled out the article in the Daily Universe the Monday after that crazy night eight years ago. It brought back a few tears. Not tears for you, as I know how much better you have it than the rest of us here, but tears for all of us who didn't get to say goodbye the way we wanted to. A whole lot of people continue missing you down here buddy! Rock On!

It is hard to believe that it was 8 years ago in the morning that we had our last conversation with you ~ at least the last one ~ for awhile. You were so excited about the hockey game and the anticipation that you would get to play. We talked about your missionary paperwork and what you needed to get done. You asked for our credit card number so you could pay for your dentist appointment. It was the last thing you needed to do to be ready to submit your papers. You tried to convince us why you needed a car in Provo - because carrying your hockey bag on a bike was a little challenging. You always had a way of making your point and swaying your mom to your way of thinking ~ with a twinkle in your eye and that irresistable smile. We told you to call right after the game and give us the full details. We got the phone call ~ but it was not from you....only about you. It was a phone message that forever changed our lives, our hearts and our future. What I cherish the most is our last words....I said, "Love you Jax-man." Your dad said, "Love you son," and you said, "Love you guys." That was our last words to each other. And now I hear those words over and over again as a reminder of that eternal love that binds us together as a family. It is that love that comes from our Heavenly Father and brings peace to my heart. I love you Jaxon.

Chad always says he wishes he could have met you, we talk about you often. I have the picture your momma framed for me hanging on the wall, it's a good reminder to cherish the time you have with loved ones, and always make sure you tell them how much you care about them.

Good Morning Jaxon ~ The snow is starting to fall and I know how much you love winter. I will clean up your rock garden today ~take home all of the turtles to winter in the shed until next spring. It is peaceful there during the winter; beautiful white snow covers the garden and it is so still and quiet. And then in the spring ~ it always reminds that life returns and it is a reminder that we are an eternal family. And the cycle continues. I don't know how many seasons we will go through until that time comes ~ I just know it will come. Watch over your nieces and nephews and friends. Love you my son ~ your mom

Just the other day, I met up with a friend from BYU (who I met after your passing) who just happens to be from your neck of the woods in Alaska :) While talking, I thought of you and asked her if she knew your family...and she did. It is a small world. I was surprised that your name and face came to my mind so clearly. I am married now with 2 children and still think of you, especially when I reflect on my BYU years. It will be fun to introduce you to my family someday and reminisce about our fun at BYU. You are not forgotten.

Happy 26th birthday Jaxon. I am not sure if age makes a difference in heaven...Probably not. But for me, you are 26 today. The snow finally melted, so today I cleaned your rock garden. It is one thing I can still do for you....besides be really good :-). It was so peaceful there and I felt content that life is as it is.....I still miss you though. Your dad and I took Grandma to the temple. As I sat there I had a little picture come into my thoughts. I thought about crossing that veil and the first person I saw was grandma....maybe because she was sitting right next to me in the temple. I felt such a sense of comfort to have my mom there; in the background I saw you coming toward me and for brief moment I felt a feeling that has no words. My heart experienced a happiness that went through my entire being. You smiled your beautiful smile and you said, "Hi Mom!" I don't know how it will be when I see you again my son; I do know that it will be a moment that will make all this missing you totally worthwhile. I hope you have a wonderful birthday. Your dad and I love you. Love you momma

Happy birthday little brother. Cole and I just had a conversation about you and he told me he's sad he never got to meet you. I told him about how you were there until 15 minutes before he was born and how bummed you looked when you have to leave for work. I'll always remember that look on your face. I told Cole that you got to meet him. And one day in heaven you'll meet again. I hope you get to eat cake in heaven. Love you. Happy birthday and rock on Jax.

Just having a "Jaxon" moment - as your dad calls it. Missing you ~ and thinking about you! Whenever your dad and I would go on a trip, we would say, "Oh I wish the kids were here - they would have so much fun." We just seemed to always have more fun when all of you were with us. Our best memories include our children and grandchildren. So, I often think, "oh I wish Jaxon were here...he would love this!" Of course - it always seems that life would be a little happier to have you here with us. Thank goodness for wonderful memories and enough to last a life time! Love you my son. Your momma

Jaxon ~ I never want to go through what we experienced 7 years ago - right about this time; however, through these 7 years I have learned so much. Some of the things I have learned is that our lives, our choices, our example do matter. I have learned that kindness has a way of being remembered. I know that families are eternal and I know I will see you again. Everything that is truly important - is wrapped up in what I have learned since you left. I love you my son. Love your momma

I am not sure how many of our friends still check in - so if you do - we wish all of you a wonderful Christmas season. I love Christmas because of the rememberance of the Savior's birth - and why He came and for what He did. It is because of His birth, His life and His death - that we have hope~ hope in the resurrection which assures us that we will be with Jaxon again. I am so grateful for the many gifts this seasons brings to our lives. When I look at nativities - it is a sweet reminder that this baby-child brought peace to earth with His message. We feel that peace, that hope, that gift. We wish all a wonderful Christmas. With our love ~ Michael and Darcy

Hey Jax-Man, So we now have little Zoe May in our family - a beautiful little girl who will complete Dustin and Melinda's family. We went to the ice rink for Xander's hockey practice. I thought about you skating around the ice. It is hard to go there, yet, at the same time, I feel close to you knowing you had once been there. Our lives go on and you are and will always be an important part of our family. I know that little Zoe will know her Uncle Jaxon, just like all the rest of your nieces and nephews know and love you. You are their hero. You have an amazing brother and sisters who love and cherish their little brother. Thanks for watching over your family; especially the little ones. Love you my son. Mom

I remember John Erickson saying in his testimony that he found his eldest son preparing for church putting gel in his hair and saying that he �wanted to be like Jaxon.�
I remember getting my Young Women�s Medallion and having a recognition night for those with similar accomplishments. We each had a table set up to display our notable achievements. I remember Jaxon�s table, put up to honor his Eagle Scout accomplishment, though he had already passed � and I remember wanting to be like him.
I remember Jaxon�s mom giving one of her many unforgettable lessons for our class and how touched I felt when she pondered how Jaxon would always hold her hand and that she knew that she would see him again � and that he would once more hold her hand.
Jaxon, though I never remember meeting you I want to thank you for the memories that you have given me, for they have taught me a lot. You have shown me that you can be a role model to others with out even knowing it. You have encouraged me to be a better person by your actions and living righteously. And, through your mother, you have taught me that one day I can be with my brother who is with Heavenly Father, and that I can hold his hand. Thank you. ~Dabric

I am not sure where the summer went to - it came and it is leaving..too fast. One consulation - the garden is full of veggies - even zucchini. It always makes me smile as I pick the big ones - and I say to myself, "This one is for you, Jaxon."...just because you were so adamant about not liking them. But, I had great fun in trying to disguise zuccini in all sorts of recipes. Some of them you discovered....but some of them you did not. To the great zucchini disguise!
Our family is growing. Your little nephews and nieces are so beautiful. I know you look after them. They all love their "Uncle Jaxon." It is amazing how they know you...and feel a connection to someone they know is very special. Kind of like Adi - today - just missing you - which never seems to leave my heart. Love you son, mom

Hi my special son. I have worked hard fixing the yard over the last several weeks. You occupy my mind while I work outside because I know how much you loved the end results. I made a special, "Jaxon Garden" behind the house. So when I am working in the garden - I can see your picture and your turtles and flowers. Your garden spot at the cemetary did not fair too well through the winter. It bothered me that it did not look like a ~ happy ~ spot. So, I replanted it with happy flowers. I really love being there. It is peaceful for me. Our family will be together this summer - doing what has created so many family memories - fishing! I love when I have everyone here. Although life is busy, it is lonely without my children and grandchildren. I look forward to those moments when we are together. You will always be an important part of that connection. Love and missing you. mom

Hey Jaxon... I can't help but see you everywhere I look lately, especially since it is spring in Alaska :) I am so grateful this Easter Sunday as I have had time to reflect on the sacrifice the Savior made... Easter was always my favorite holiday growing up. I loved the annual family egg hunt, it seemed like we would never get to participate with the big kids :) I can't help but rejoice in the triumph over death and knowing that one day we will see each other again. I am so grateful for our friendship... I can honestly say I don't know what I would do without it. Thank you for always knowing the right thing to say... Somehow I still hear your voice when I need comfort or guidance. Love you Jaxon!

I love your website :) I wish I could have had something like this for Jason. Yesterday was my son's 4th year anniversary home. I remembered yours was in January. It does get less shocking over time. I know our kids are having a ball and working hard in delightful surroundings, near us. God bless you each :) I believe that they would choose to go when they did (except they didn't have any choice), knowing what they know now. From their realm, this life is hard and better things await us! May they rock on in love and grace...

I've been coming to this page almost everyday for a month now, trying to put my feelings into words.
I miss you, I love you and can't wait to see you again.
There are so many constant reminders of you. Jake & Dillan rode the sleds today & I could almost see you out there riding with them. Driving up & down our road, passing your parents, taking one last glance down at the corner before turning home. I don't do these things because I'm thinking of you, but because I do them, I think of you.

I went to the cemetary to leave a little wooden heart on Jaxon's rock garden - now covered with a white fluffy layer of snow. There was a single pathway from the road to that special spot - made with foot prints. A bouquet of flowers planted in the snow added color to the whiteness. My mind thought - Jake has already been here. Thanks Jacob. As I took time to read many of the very first entries written following Jaxon's death, I once again marveled at the impact he had on so many of us. Sometimes people ask me if it gets any easier with time. I am not quite sure how to answer that, because it seems that at this time of year, my whole soul remembers the sorrow of that night and the intense realization that he is not with us right now. It is not a depression or a feeling of hopelessness; just an deep longing to see him, to give him a hug, to hear his infectious laugh and to have more memories of him. The phone calls, the notes, the special turtle gifts, the flowers and Peace Lily plant let me know we don't walk this path alone. We have caring wonderful friends who love us and love Jaxon. Thanks to all of you. I love Hiliary Weeks song - "But, Just for Today - Let Me Cry," I guess that is how I feel about January 21st. Mike and I love you all. Jaxon, I love you.

How did you know Jaxon? sis
Hey Jax - My day yesterday turned into a day of service. As much as I would have liked to just be by myself and think about you - I realized Heavenly Father knew what I needed to get me through my day better than what I thought I wanted. I spent the entire day with my niece and nephews from 3 different families. I did get out for a hockey game and spent a little time reminiscing with Jeff. I miss you brother. In life and in death you are an inspiration to all. I will always strive to be a better person so I can be with you again. Love you.

I cannot find words to express my gratitude to you, you have taught me so much. I miss you, and your contagious smile. I have really enjoyed going over to your parent's house lately, and seeing the photos of you, the memories come flooding back. Thanks for everything bud! I love you and I will never forget you.

I love you and miss you. The boys talk about you all the time. Anytime they play a game and have made up names they fight over who gets to be Jaxon. I guess you are just too cool. Love you.

Hey little brother, I am taking my family to the BYU game tonight against Weber State. It should be a good one. People still talk about you at the games when they see your number in the rafters. I am proud to be your brother.
