Logan Blum |
Logan died Jan. 3 when the car he was driving left the road, went down an embankment, struck a tree and rolled. The one-car accident occurred on the westbound lane of Highway 83, just east of Atlantic, Iowa.
The Blum family lives in Walnut, which is about 15 miles northwest of Atlantic. Walnut sits right off Interstate 80.
“This was really devastating news for all of us. Logan was a wonderful human being,” said Carl Smith, M.D., professor and chairman of the UNMC OB/GYN Department. “It’s almost incomprehensible when something like this happens in the prime of someone’s life. Rick and his family are truly in our thoughts during this most difficult time.”
Logan is survived by his parents, Rick and Gwen; sisters, Hannah and Haley; brother, Lucas; grandparents, Theresa Blum and Louis and Rosemary Pedersen, Jr.; and great grandmother, Edna Kutnink, all of Walnut.
The family has suggested memorials instead of flowers.
