Logan Michael Sontag

DERBY – Logan Michael Sontag, age 24, son, brother, nephew, and friend to many, died Thursday, June 14, surrounded by friends and family. A rosary will be said at 7 p.m. on Monday, June 18; a funeral mass will be held at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, June 19, both at St. Mary Faith Center, 2300 E. Meadowlark, Derby. No visitation.

Logan was a bright and happy man, a carefree spirit who illuminated the lives of everyone he came in contact with. He loved being around people and found an outlet for his extroverted ways managing area QuickTrips. Even if you only met Logan long enough to pay for your gas, his dry wit and down to earth demeanor would leave a lasting impression on you.

Logan loved the outdoors. His favorite weekend activity was a trip to the lake for fishing and fellowship. "Hanging out" with friends is how he will most be remembered. Any gathering of people would never be complete without his hearty laugh bellowing through the room.

Logan always found a way to bring people together, even if it was nothing more than cruising around town with his closest friends in his high school days. At family reunions, happy and energetic, he was everyone’s favorite cousin and nephew and loved dearly by his family.

A K-State fan all his life, he attended the university after high school on full academic scholarship before deciding to move closer to friends and family.

He was preceded in death by his father, Bill Sontag.

He is survived by his mother, Julie Sontag; siblings, Tyler and Ali Sontag; 18 aunts and uncles; 24 cousins.
