Glen Dale Logan peacefully and comfortably passed away surrounded by family at the age of 85 on October 26, 2022 in Eureka. Born to Bea and Henry Hirning in Missoula, Montana on August 21, 1937. He was later raised by stepfather George Logan after Bea remarried. As a child, he lived throughout the western states. He attended Yuba City Union High School and participated in sports like baseball and track and field. He graduated from Yuba City Union High School in 1955. After high school, Glen married Ruth Riano in 1957. He served in the US Navy from 1958-1959. Daughter, Kellee Logan, was born in 1959. Glen and Ruth divorced in 1964.

After serving in the US Navy, Glen pursued his career in carpentry in the bay area for Baldwin Construction, during which time was asked to work at Ah Pah on the Klamath River in between Klamath and Orick. He fell in love with the beautiful area and also met the love of his life Carolyn Lee Barnes.

During this time, he lovingly cared for Carolyn demonstrating a quiet strength in character and devotion to her.

Glen loved fishing, hunting, golf, and socializing at the casino. Whether it be feeding the ducks and birds or spoiling his dogs or cats, he had a huge heart for all animals. He had a generous nature and always had a twinkle in his eye and candy in his pocket to share with friends.
