Logan Bradley Richards

Logan Bradley Richards, 20 years old, of Ocala, Florida, passed away in a tragic accident on April 28th, 2026, in Marion Oaks, Ocala, Florida. Logan was born in Ocala, Florida, to Heather Richards and Jason Richards on April 5th, 2006. He attended Forest High School, Belleview High School, and Accelerations Academy, graduating in 2025. For five years, he worked as a landscaper with Landscaping Under the Son, the family business his father has owned for 18 years. Logan received awards in several divisions of Highland Game competitions, including Novice, B-group, and Lightweight. He excelled at turning the caber for perfect scores, crushing competitors who were bigger, stronger, and twice his age. His audience always roared with cheers, clapping, and encouraging yells when he was on the field. From the moment he could walk, Logan lived with a fearless spirit, a boundless curiosity, and a heart that loved deeply and without hesitation. He enjoyed many hobbies. Riding his motorcycle, dirtbikes, and BMX bikes, and learning to do extravagant tricks that no one else could ever pull off. Going to a beach or freshwater spring to swim, fish, and kayak. He loved listening to music at all times, snowboarding, traveling, and camping in any terrain, any weather. He loved to build fires, climb trees, fix engines, forge metal, and sketch on any scrap piece of paper. He loved throwing in Scottish Highland Games competitions or just for fun at the house. He loved the feeling of the wind on his face so much that he couldn't sleep without four fans blowing around him from every direction. He loved nature and being in nature, always outside, and he was always off to explore somewhere new and exciting. He was always working or tinkering on something. He loved spending his spare time with his best buddies, whether it was sitting doing nothing, playing poker with inventive rules, or cliff jumping. He would spend every day working with his father, Jason Richards. They rebuilt and cleaned entire guns and went on motorcycle cruises together. They would always be rambling about landscaping trials, highland game techniques, bike parts on order, and endless projects to start around the house. He would spend his evenings and weekends with his mother, sister, two brothers, and his aforementioned best buddies. Logan is survived by his Father, Jason Richards. Mother, Heather Richards. Sister, Olivia Richards. Brothers, Titus Richards and Noah Richards. Paternal Grandfather and Grandmother, Bradley Richards and Debbie Richards. Paternal Great-Grandmother, Jean Pazin.

Logan was cremated with the final love letters of those who held him closest, our words going with him where we cannot. His ashes will be scattered across the places that brought him joy and in new landscapes he would have embraced with his adventurous spirit. A celebration of life will be held in a way that aligns with his wishes to honor his precious memory. He would want us to listen to his playlist, shoot off fireworks, get tattoos, and reminisce about all of his adventures. Logan’s service will be held at the Richards’ family home at the end of May 2026. The service will be officiated by pastor Dax Romine of Live Oak Christian Fellowship Church. Memorial Donations may be made to his GoFundMe at this link: https://gofund.me/9064343da. The Richards family wishes to extend their utmost gratitude to everyone, including family, friends, and community members. In a moment so shocking, difficult, and incomprehensible, the kindness, selflessness, and support received have been foundational. Every message, meal, embrace, and big or small gesture of care has carried us in ways words can hardly express. We are truly surrounded by impeccable people. Logan was a big-hearted, bare-footed, mischievous, passionate, utterly fearless, and creative man who touched many people's hearts. To know Logan was to feel his bold, bright, and unforgettable energy. He truly left an imprint on everyone fortunate enough to cross his path. We love him so much and will miss him every day. There aren't words to describe the sorrow we feel over such a shocking loss. We will miss his dimples, his inability to lie, and his sailor's mouth. We will miss his hammock hanging in the workshop and his trinket belongings scattered on the back porch table. We will miss every piece that was Logan; we will honor him with love, knowing his memory lives on in every story, every laugh, and every place he cherished. His soul was one of a kind and an immeasurable loss. We love you so much, Logan.
