He was born on April 5, 1988 in Manitowoc, son of Frederick Sr. and Raissa (DeRoche) Van Serke. Logan was a graduate of Roncalli High School in Manitowoc with the class of 2006. He was employed with Panera Bread and with CAD Incorporated as a welder/fabricator, and volunteered at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Legal Clinic. Logan was a junior at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee.

Survivors include his parents: Fred and Raissa Van Serke Sr., Manitowoc; one brother and sister-in-law: Fred and Erica Van Serke Jr., of Milwaukee; one sister: Hayley Beth Van Serke; Chicago; his maternal grandmother: Dorothy DeRoche, Manitowoc; uncles and aunts: Peggy Braun, Manitowoc, Bob and Susie DeRoche, Manitowoc, Randy and Cherie DeRoche, Mishicot, Reed and Laurie DeRoche, Manitowoc, Don and Rhea Pirch, Mentone, A.L.; also surviving are many wonderful cousins, other relatives and friends.

Cremation has taken place at All-Care Cremation Center, Manitowoc and funeral services will be held 12:00 p.m. (noon) on Saturday, November 5, 2011 at St. Francis of Assisi on Waldo, 1121 N. 14th, Manitowoc.

The family will greet relatives and friends on Saturday morning, November 5, 2011 at St. Francis of Assisi on Waldo, 1121 N. 14th, from 9:00 a.m. until 11:45 a.m.

A memorial has been established in Logan's name.

The Pfeffer Funeral Home and All-Care Cremation Center, 928 S. 14th Street, Manitowoc is assisting with funeral arrangements.

Logan would hate that we are writing this about him. He was a distinguished, funny, thoughtful, and active person, who never wanted any recognition for what he did. He was always ready with a smile or an argument, frequently bantering with his brothers. He liked to do things his way. Logan loved this family and his dog, Hades. He loved oatmeal and granola, and spent most of his time on his bike riding 60-80 miles a day, reading and hanging out with friends and family. He was studying philosophy, with the intent of pursuing a degree in Law. He enjoyed trying new things and tossing around ideas with friends; he was always thinking and challenging himself. Logan's spirit led him on a pivotal trip to Alaska, where he met phenomenal people and returned home with a new perspective and course for life. It was that energy, enthusiasm and joy for life that everyone enjoyed and absorbed from him.
