George Allen Logan

George A. Logan was born on November 21, 1961, at Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado, to Nancy (Bressler) Logan and William Jarvis Logan of Virginia Dale/Livermore. A proud fifth-generation rancher, George carried forward the Logan family legacy started by his great-grandfather and namesake. The land, the cattle, the mountains, and the work of ranch life shaped him from the beginning.

George began his schooling at the Virginia Dale community schoolhouse. When the school closed after his third-grade year, he continued his education in Laporte. He enjoyed wrestling and later attended Rocky Mountain High School in Fort Collins. When his father became ill, George set aside a year of high school to help run the family ranch—an early reflection of the loyalty and grit he became known for. He went on to earn recognition in forestry management through independent study and was a proud member of Future Farmers of America. He graduated with his diploma as well as vocational certificates in Agriculture and Forestry.

Throughout his life, George embodied the work ethic and self-reliance of a true western craftsman. He operated a sawmill, trapped and hunted, and crafted braided rawhide, leatherwork, and horsehair cowboy gear. He was a skilled welder and, under the mentorship of Gene Harris, learned the art of horseshoeing. These varied talents supported both his livelihood and his love for horses, cattle, and the land.

In 1999, George met Cindy Sharpe at the horse facilities of friends Rich and Sharron Holmes in north Fort Collins. Their partnership grew as naturally as the life they were building together. With the help of family and friends, they built a home in Laporte. George's father gifted them a cow—Curly Girl—which became the start of their herd. In 2007, they purchased cattle property in Bosler, Wyoming, eventually developing a small cow-calf operation of Hereford–Red Angus cross cattle. George and Cindy shared a life filled with hard work, horses, good dogs, a few cats, and deep companionship.

George lived his life by the belief, "Don't weaken—it's worth the ride," a phrase he offered when times got tough. His words captured both his grit and the resilience that guided him.

George is survived by his wife, Cindy Sharpe; father-in-law John Massaro; Aunts and Uncle Guy, Cheryl Massaro, and Kay Ficter; Uncle Roy Lilley; cousins Jim, Joe, and Dianne Whitney, along with their children Joseph and Jessica; many members of the Edwards family; niece Colleen Boyle and nephew Joseph Boyle III; Cindy's sister Kerry and her husband Joseph Boyle; and estranged siblings Robert and Donna; and niece Sorcha.

On November 10, 2025, George passed peacefully under his Lord and Savior's magnificent sky in Livermore—the place where he grew up, worked, and lived much of his life's story. He was surrounded by his wife, close friends Mark and Cathrine Moen, cattle, and his dogs.

"Geroge is truly riding with God's outfit now, rest in peace until we all ride together again."
