People urged to turn Chesterfield blue for hero Logan Folger's funeral

Logan, 14, died at Sheffield Children’s Hospital after being rescued from the Chesterfield Canal by emergency teams.

The opening of Logan’s inquest heard he was trying to save one of his friends from the water when they got into difficulty in the canal at Staveley on August 18.

Since his tragic death, many people have described the schoolboy as a 'hero'.

Logan’s funeral, which is being organised by Harold Lilleker & Sons, will take place on Saturday, September 11 at 11am at Staveley Methodist Church, followed by a burial at Staveley Cemetery.

The funeral directors said Logan had lived in Chesterfield all his life, attending Speedwell Infants School, Staveley Junior School, Springwell and Hasland Support Centre.

“His hobbies and interests included motocross bikes, riding his push bike and electric scooter, being outdoors, spending time with friends and family both on holidays and at parties,” they added.

"He loved music, dancing around, social media, playing on his X-Box and above everything making people smile and laugh.

“Logan was the most lovable and caring boy that was always here for everyone he loved and cared about.

“He leaves his devastated mum, dad, step-dad, five brothers, one sister as he joins his older sister who was a huge part of Logan’s life and he loved her dearly.

"He also leaves behind his grandparents, aunties, uncles, lots of cousins and lots of friends.”

Further details, including the route of Logan’s final journey, will follow, but anyone attending is asked to wear something blue.
