In Memory of Logan Friedrich 


Logan Friedrich lost his life after a tragic accident involving his MR2 on January 26, 2003. I purposely picked a picture of him behind a wheel because, as anybody who spent any time with him would tell you, he loved cars and was a true driving enthusiast. 

He always seemed to need a haircut and although he had a quiet demeanor about him, he had a quirky sense of humor and he'd let you know it. He was an Eagle Scout and genuinely a nice guy, but he didn't fit any stereotypical mold. He was unique in a good way. I've sat here for several minutes just thinking about him and although I intended to share some of my memories, I can't right now. I was fortunate to have him as a friend and I'll miss him. I can't imagine the pain his family must be going through. I offer my sincere condolences to his family and many friends.

There is not much to say other than Logan was a great kid with tons of potential and will be greatly missed. He was one of the few guys that could be counted on to attend any sort of MR2 function whether it be sitting around at someone's house watching movies, autocrossing, cliff diving, or going on hill country drives at 8am. The last time I saw him he was munching on some ribs at Cooper's BBQ with his dad after having his car overheat (as usual) on a hill country drive. Logan was always willing to wrench on peoples rides for free (or for very minimal cost on major jobs) and willing to go the extra mile to help people out. One can honestly say it was a good reflection of his upbringing if one knew his father Richard and their relationship. Its hard to imagine that this happens to good people like the Friedrich's, you are all in my prayers.

I still can't believe it. This morning I recieved a call telling me that he had been in an accident and when I went to the hospital to see him, I was pulled aside by a staff member and told that he had just died. Logan was one of my best friends and I just wish I could have said goodbye.

Logan was one of my best friends. He was one of the nicest, and most caring people I've ever had the honor of knowing in my life. He was always at my side when I needed him. He was always there for me to talk to. Logan was fair and good and truthful; his opinions and his advice were always valuable to me. He put others before himself whenever it was possible. This is a really awful tragedy; words cannot properly describe the grief that I and his other close friends are feeling right now. My heart goes out to his parents and his brothers and all of his friends. I hope that Logan knew how much I loved him and cared about him. This is all I can manage to type right now.

This is a sad day for all those in the Austin car scene, the MR2 community, and for all his friends & family.

It's gonna be hard to imagine going on a cruise and not having to stop along the way because (insert part here) broke on Logan's car and I think we'll all miss those 1980's aviator sunglasses he wore with pride.

Logan was a great guy who wouldn't hesitate to help you if your car ever broke down. He had a quirky sense of humor, and although we didn't always understand what he said, he always made us laugh.

Logan is someone I'll never forget and it won't be the same without him.

Only a couple days after I moved to Austin 2 1/2 years ago I met up with the MR2 club and Logan was there. Looking back, Logan was a part of practically all my greatest memories in this town. He was always up beat and just a great guy to have around. Logan was reliable, it didn’t matter what the activity Logan was always there. He was always willing to help. My car like everyone else’s has paid a visit to his garage at least once. My deepest condolences go out to Richard and the rest of his family. The father-son relationship that Richard and Logan had was envied by us all. It is a shame we will never see him grow up and see where all his potential would take him. We will miss you Logan.

Looking from the outside people might not understand how such a diverse group of people could come together just for their love of MR2s. We are all different ages, different backgrounds, and different occupations, but when we choose the people that we wanted to hang-out with, we choose the MR2 group. When Logan showed up, the energy of the party immediately went up a notch. He was rarely without an off-the-wall comment and was always making the rest of us laugh. It just won't be the same.

I have known Logan for quite some time. I have enjoyed many parties, get togethers and experiences with this young guy. As our friendship grew, he and Ryan his best friend moved in with me. The three of us had late nights playing stupid pranks and jokes on each other all the time. I can remember waiting with one roommate for another roommate to come home as we sat on the roof of the house with eggs.

Living with Logan gave me a chance to see a different more personal side that not everyone got to experience. Good, bad. It didnt matter. We always pulled through quickly and with no hard feelings. So many memoris linger in my house right now. Its a hard thing to go home at night. But through it all I know that every time all the guys gather at my house, Logan will be there.

I will miss him greatly. I know we all will. He was one of my closest friends and will always be in me.

My heart and strength go to the Freidrich family.

Tell everyone you love, care for, or are close to as friends you love them dearly. Hug them, caress them. I know i have. To all of you that i know personally and those i dont, stay true and have no enemies.
