The tight-knit communities of Dunlap and Cartwright, Tennessee, are mourning the tragic loss of Logan Cartwright, a beloved young man who passed away unexpectedly.
A 2022 graduate of Sequatchie County High School, Logan was known for his larger-than-life personality, infectious humor, and the unwavering love he showed to everyone around him.
Born and raised in Dunlap, Logan was the kind of person who left an impression wherever he went. Affectionately known by many as “Big Red” for his towering stature and red hair, he had a presence that brought comfort, laughter, and warmth.
Whether he was hanging out with friends, making people laugh in the local Walmart parking lot, or just being himself around town, Logan made life feel lighter and more joyful.
Logan had a deep passion for gaming and worked as a gamer affiliated with Rockstar Games, and formerly with Grand Theft Auto V. He was part of an online community where he made lasting friendships, often bringing his signature humor and Southern charm to his interactions.
When he wasn’t gaming, Logan worked as a heavy equipment mechanic at Mechanics Life, putting in long hours with pride and skill. He was known for his dedication to the trade and his desire to always lend a helping hand when someone needed it.
His love for machines, games, and good company were only matched by the love he had for his family. Logan was especially close to his father, Freddie, who had been in and out of the hospital in the months leading up to Logan’s passing.
The family had been going through a difficult time, struggling to keep up with medical bills and living expenses, and Logan remained a source of strength and optimism even when the situation grew tough.
His loyalty to his family, especially during trying times, speaks volumes about his character and the depth of his heart. Friends describe Logan as someone who could turn a dull day into a great one with just a joke or a grin. He didn’t need a big event or a party—he brought the party with him.
He was the kind of person who would stop to help a stranger, brighten a friend’s day with a well-timed meme, or spend hours gaming just to make someone feel included and seen.
The grief in Dunlap and Cartwright is palpable. Logan wasn’t just a familiar face; he was a symbol of joy, kindness, and resilience. His sudden passing has left a void that words can barely express.
Messages of love, stories of laughter, and heartfelt tributes have flooded social media, painting a picture of a young man who gave so much to others without asking for anything in return.
As his family now faces this unbearable loss, the community is rallying around them—just as Logan would have done for anyone else. In the coming days, friends and family will gather to remember his life, celebrate the joy he brought to so many, and hold close the memories that will live on in their hearts forever.
Logan Cartwright’s light may have gone out far too soon, but the laughter he sparked, the love he gave, and the spirit he carried will live on in Dunlap and far beyond. May he rest in peace, and may his family and friends find comfort in the enduring love he left behind.
