Logan Clane Sides

Logan Clane Sides, aged 13, of Medina TX, passed away on October 14, 2024, at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston TX. He was born in Kerrville TX to Fred and Jill Sides on February 17, 2011. 

Logan is survived by his parents, his brothers, Damon and Ryan McDonald, and numerous other family members and friends. 

At the age of 9, in May of 2020, Logan was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. For 4 1/2 years, Logan battled with the strength and honor of any soldier. In the end, his earthly body wasn’t enough to hold his immense soul, and he passed over from the arms of his mother and father, into the eternal embrace of his Heavenly Father.  

Logan was baptized and saved in the name of Jesus through his own profession of faith. 

His last years were characterized as being a fighter, and a courageous one he was. But he was more than that. He was a lover of family and friends. He gave the best hugs. He was a scholar with a love for learning and the king of random facts and bits of information. Logan was a thinker, with a kind and generous soul, and a witty sense of humor. He loved to laugh and play practical jokes. He did his own thing, in his own way, on his own timing. He learned on his terms and was unapologetically his own person. He was an old soul, with a love for WWII, history, and 40s and 50s music. He will be missed terribly, but we rejoice knowing he has new life. 

We want to publicly thank his friends, Alivia Pack and Olivia Longoria, for texting and calling to keep him company during long hospital stays and isolation periods.
