Logan had many passions, from video games and science to rock climbing, escape rooms, and Dragon Ball Z, according to his memorial. He had a sharp sense of humor matched with incredible wit.

“It was hard not to smile around Logan,” reads his obituary. “He was a loving son, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend who will be greatly missed.”

Logan is survived by his loving parents, Catarina Dionisio and Jason Israel; Avô Jorge and Avó Celeste Dionisio; Grammy, Joan Israel (the late Frank Cicchino); Pop, James (Nonni, Carolyn) Israel, and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Logan’s funeral will be held at Sacred Heart of Jesus Church in Philadelphia on Saturday, Nov. 26.
