James "Jimmy" H. Logan Jr., 77, husband of Evelyn "Becky" Sims Logan, died on Thursday, Feb. 11, 2021, at Prisma Health Tuomey Hospital.

Born on Aug. 26, 1943, in Sumter, he was a son of the late James H. Logan and Clara Montgomery Nunnery Phelps. He is a charter member of Crosspoint Baptist Church and retired from the City of Sumter. He was a veteran who was proud to have served in Germany during the Vietnam War era.

Survivors include his wife of 51 years; a daughter, Angela Paige Logan Jones (Randy) of Sumter; grandchildren that he raised as his own, Ariel Briane Logan Dieleman (Zach) and Austin Wayne Logan (Caitlyn); grandchildren, Cody James Logan and Wyatt Jackson Jones; great-grandchildren, Carter Dieleman, Rowan Dieleman, Teagan Dieleman, Evie Logan, Emmie Logan and LaeLani Logan; a sister, Diane Ratcliffe (Robert); a brother, Dennis Logan; nieces and nephews, Debra Clanton (Brant), Cindy Hollis (Jay), Tracey Conroy (Paul), Vince Logan, Katlyn Hollis, Diana Hollis and other nieces and nephews; and special grandkids, Mary-Katheryn Brunke and Krystin Fuss.

He was preceded in death by a daughter, Stacy Diane Logan Hall; a brother, Gerald Logan; a sister, Pamela Logan; and his beloved pets, Bentley and Daisy.

Jimmy loved his wife, children, grandchildren and great-grands. He was so proud of the parents they became and the children they've raised; but the great-grands captured his heart. Family was everything to him. And in return, he was a fiercely loved husband, father, brother and papa. "Papa" was his most cherished title.

A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. on Saturday at Elmore-Cannon-Stephens Funeral Home chapel with the Rev. Travis Pruden officiating.

The family will receive friends from 2 to 3 p.m. on Saturday at Elmore-Cannon-Stephens Funeral Home and other times at the home.
