In loving memory of Logan Sackel
Life suddenly changed for the Sackel family this February 2021 with the unexpected loss of their son and brother, Logan Logan was a member of the 2013 SAC boys travel soccer team. He was loved by his teammates and his coaches, always had a smile on his face and showed a true passion for the game. “Logan was a tough little boy. Yet despite his toughness, he always had a smile on his face, the type of smile that would brighten your day no matter what. He was a hard worker, dedicated to the game, and always willing to listen in order to make himself a better player and teammate. Logan was quiet among his teammates, but although he was quiet, his presence on the pitch was loud and he was noticed by everyone including the other team. His smile and patience on the pitch will be what I remember most.” -B13 Team Manager He will be missed greatly. Please consider donating to help the family in this most difficult time. |
