Robert Logan Sheehan
Known to all who loved him as Logan, passed away Monday, September 1, 2025 at 25 years old.
Logan was as free spirited as they come. Born in Florence, Kentucky on March 25, 2000, he was a quiet but curious kid. He started his passion for gymnastics at the age of 4, which he carried with him competitively until switching to the dive team at Parkway Central High School. He excelled in all athletics and by his senior year was awarded third in the state for diving. Along with his athletics, Logan’s first job was circus performing with a group called the “The Wonder Wheelers”. Supported by Josh Routh at Circus Kaput, the group worked around the St. Louis area unicycling, performing acrobatics, making balloon animals, and spreading joy.
After high school, Logan went to college and shared his light at Missouri State University. While his time there didn’t last long, the impact he made on the friends he made there did. After coming home from Missouri State that winter, he decided to give EMT school a shot. He excelled in his classes and finished the whole program, but in his own Logan way he just never took the test to be licensed! After working as an installer for his father’s company, he again decided he wanted to try something new. He took his circus talents to San Francisco at the age of 21, hoping to learn even more. Even at such a young age, Logan knew what he wanted and was never afraid to try something new. San Francisco is where Logan really grew into himself and learned the way of the world. He loved telling the story of the first night he spent in San Francisco, when he had to stay in a motel and walked in on a naked lady in his room! After that first night, things only went up for him in San Francisco. While working and teaching kids at the Circus Center, he also made connections that got him into handyman work at a dispensary, and bartending at Homestead in the Mission District. His father always accurately described him as “charmed” in all ways of life.
In the summer of 2023, Logan moved back to St. Louis to be closer to his family, and they are so grateful they got to share his last few years with him close by. After a few months of working for his father again as a carpenter, he continued his bartending career where he found his passion. As he finally got into his groove, he dreamed of opening up his own bar in St. Louis. In the month before he left us, he moved from bartending to managing at Basso. Though this was a huge shift for Logan, it was the perfect change for him.
Logan was the cherished son of Donald Joseph Sheehan Jr. (or Don as Logan loved referring to him) and LeeAnn Shaw. His older brother Donald Joseph Sheehan III “Trey” was only 19 months older than Logan, and while the sibling squabbling was real, Trey helped shape Logan into the man he was. And then along came Charlotte, the baby sister. While their age gap was more significant, the two were more than siblings, they were best friends.
He leaves behind doting grandmothers, loving uncles, aunts, cousins and lifelong friends. While Logan had so much more to offer the world, he would want us to celebrate all he was able to accomplish in his 25 years on earth. He was never afraid to do exactly what he wanted, which allowed him more life experiences than many 25 years old could wish for. He was a shining light in the family that will be sorely missed by all. He will always have a spot saved at the kid’s table with a name card for Christmas Eve dinner. Remember him around camp fires, at the circus, at music festivals, and in all things good in the world.

September 8, 2025 at 6:17 pmWe were a PCHS Swim and Dive Family. Our son Brad, class of 2018, was on the swim team. We always really enjoyed watching Logan on the diving board. We are so saddened about his loss. We remember how (justifiably) proud you were of Logan. He had a great smile and great attitude and beautiful dives. Sincerely, Dave and Kim and Brad Stinnett.

You will always be that 1 of a kind- the greatest kind. Love you Logan❤️

September 4, 2025 at 1:02 pmI am so sorry for your loss. My loss. The world’s loss. To put it simply, the world was just better because Logan was in it. Man, this hurts. A lot.
Firstly, I love Logan for who he was. Logan made a huge impact on my life by simply existing the way he wanted to, and being my friend throughout it. He was such an iconic guy. We met at PCMS, and even at the age of 11, I knew that he was a total go-getter, kind, and genuine man. And that little kid grew up to be a stronger version of that. We were good friends throughout middle school and high school, and we both went to Missouri State together, too. We spent our first college weekend together (among many), experienced our first frat party (during rush week) together, and took many walks, and had many laughs throughout his time at MSU. He was such a great person to spend time with. Especially during our new life phase of moving away from home. He helped me accept change as a good thing. I was afraid of our new freedoms, a new town, and new friends, but he absolutely lived for it. We made new friends together, played Guitar Hero, went to the lake of the ozarks, ate our dining hall meals together, and reminisced on younger years. I felt better when he was around. So, when he told me he wasnt returning to MSU, I wasnt shocked (but because following his dreams was the priority, and that’s the most Logan thing he could have done, I was so proud of him.), but I was sad to see him leave. I missed him the following years, but I had extreme confidence in him- that he was going to be accomplished and happy wherever he was. I couldn’t be sad, so I was happy. I was happy he had chosen himself and his wants. And that was inspiring for me to witness. I was proud of him. I called him on occasion to check-in. He seemed happy with his choices, continued to learn and grow, and it felt like he never took a step backwards (despite what it might look like to outsiders with changing the paths he was on). I felt like he was super accomplished and happy to be moving. He was a great friend, and an inspiration to make my dreams happen, and I have always felt that way about him.
Growing up, I admired his ability to nonchalantly face fears, and do those difficult stunts over and over again. He worked his ass off, impressively. He was so busy with his passions inside (jazz band/band/diving) and outside (gymnastics/circus/fixing stuff/creating/etc.) of school, that I felt like me simply peaking into the band room, while I was in orchestra class nextdoor, made up for not seeing him too often. I would often make some eye contact, followed by a solid wave and say, “whats uppp!?” He put a smile on my face every time. I can still hear him say, “Hey Megan! Whats up?” As he waved back at me and walked my way, or simply nodded and smiled because class was going on. He was awesome. He brightened my (and my classmates) day every time. In fact, on some days, the moments where we could talk in the storage instrument room (the band/orchestra instruments were packed in the same room together) before class for a few minutes, are what made it all worth it to show up for school that day! (Lol I’m serious) We spoke about what he was doing for himself a lot- excited to share a video or photo of a new trick/dive he perfected, or whatever was new! And I was so impressed and inspired. By him sharing his talents, it motivated me to challenge myself in the same way. So thank you, Logan, for talking/sharing that stuff with me, and others. Even if it was silly, or different, I loved it. He was such a free spirit, and passionate about life and his abilities. It was so cool to see that in real time.
That said, I love how he knew he could accomplish whatever he put his mind to. He inspired many, and me, every time I was around him. He had a way of just shrugging things off and making whatever he wanted ‘work.’ And 9 out of 10 times, he accomplished whatever he wanted (and then practiced so much to make it 10/10, frontwards and backwards), happily determined. He knew he could, so he did. He was a true leader and a king of the rooms he walked into. True confidence and charm. With that charisma, he was the guy to stick up for himself and other’s. It was second nature to him. He was driven, cool (he drove a Mustang, that I felt was fitting for such a cool guy), and I was so excited to see what he did with his life. His energy and light was so legendary, chill, and contagious. To think of Logan is to feel a boost of humble confidence.
I am so blessed to have known him while we were both so young, grew up together, and to have built such a great friendship over the years.
And, after reminiscing, this might sound silly, but I was really looking forward to the high school reunions. To see all the progress, ups, downs, diagnals, etc. that his adventurous life path has taken him. I was hoping it would’ve lead him to his wife. His soulmate. He deserved a wife just as cool as him. And I told him that! A lot! And he said the same about me and my future husband. Well, I just got married, and I would’ve been so happy to introduce my husband to him at the reunion, saying excitedly as we approach Logan, “Heyy theres Logan! Logan is one of the really cool people here. You don’t know anyone like him. He was a really great friend to me when we were kids, through college, and I already know he will love you! So get excited!! He’s the most genuine person!” I wish I still had that moment to look forward to. Logan is the best at meeting new people, and making them feel comfortable being themselves. He was so happy for his friend’s successes, too.
Overall, Logan is pure joy in a person. Excitement. Love. Loyalty. Charm. Kindness. Adventure. Curiosity. Fun. And so much more. He loved his siblings, parents, family, and animals, with his whole heart. He spoke highly of the people he knew- even when they weren’t in the room. Even if they were. He cared. He was such a good person. I feel blessed he was my friend.
I feel lucky to feel this pain and sorrow. He made a true impact on the world, and on me. I’ve found strength in knowing I will forever miss my dear friend; and thats not crazy, because he was the coolest friend ever and there is a lot to grieve.
To those mourning: I pray for strength and time to heal this grief. I pray for love to protect this grief. I pray for Logan’s family and friends to feel the love that they feel is lost.
Much love,
Megan
