In Loving Memory of Rodney Logan Gone Too Soon, Forever in Our Hearts
It is with heavy hearts and profound sorrow that we share the passing of Rodney Logan, age 57, whose life was tragically cut short in a senseless act of violence at a campground at El Dorado Lake early Monday morning. Authorities have confirmed that a 63-year-old man has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with Rodney’s death.
Rodney’s untimely passing has left his family, friends, and community reeling with grief and disbelief. Known for his warm smile, his easygoing nature, and his ability to make anyone feel at home, Rodney was a man who brought light wherever he went. Whether he was enjoying the great outdoors, lending a helping hand to a neighbor, or sharing laughter with loved ones, Rodney’s presence was always felt and appreciated.
Born and raised with a deep appreciation for life’s simple joys, Rodney found peace and happiness in spending time by the water, camping, and being surrounded by nature. El Dorado Lake, where his life was sadly taken, was one of the places he often found comfort—a place where he could unwind and connect with the beauty of the world around him. It is heartbreaking that the very place that once brought him serenity has now become the site of his final moments.
Those who knew Rodney describe him as a genuine soul with an open heart. He was a devoted friend, a loving family member, and a dependable man who could be counted on through life’s ups and downs. He was quick with a joke, generous with his time, and steadfast in his loyalty. Rodney believed in kindness and treated everyone he met with respect and dignity—a quality that will be dearly missed by all who were blessed to know him.
As the community mourns this devastating loss, friends and loved ones have come together to remember the man behind the news headlines. To them, Rodney was not just a victim of a tragic event—he was a brother, a son, a friend, and a cherished part of their lives. His memory will live on in the countless lives he touched, in the laughter he shared, and in the love he gave so freely.
The days ahead will be difficult, as those closest to him navigate the pain of his absence and seek answers in the face of such a senseless tragedy. But through the sorrow, there remains a deep gratitude for the time they had with him—for the memories that cannot be taken away, and for the reminder of how precious life truly is.
As we remember Rodney, let us also hold his family and friends in our hearts and prayers. May they find strength in one another, comfort in shared memories, and peace in knowing that Rodney’s spirit will never fade.
Rest in Peace, Rodney Logan.
Your life was a gift, your memory a treasure, and your love will remain in our hearts forever.
