From the moment he was born on November 25, 2020, Logan Berard was a miracle and true gift from God. Despite the challenges he faced, he lit up the lives of others with his quiet presence, deep eyes, and gentle spirit. He didn't need words to be understood. His heart spoke to us, taught us to listen with more than ours ears and to love with more than words.

Logan loved his family. He enjoyed watching cartoons, especially his favorite - Bluey. Anywhere he went, or if you visited him, he always had his "loveys" (Bluey, Bingo, Mike, and Teddy). He was a loved son, grandson, nephew, godchild, and cousin who will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

He was wholeheartedly loved and cherished every day of his life by his devoted parents, Mr. and Mrs. Allen Berard, Jr. who were his advocates and greatest comfort. He leaves fond memories of his parents, Allen Berard, Jr. and Rosie Pilette Berard of Breaux Bridge; grandparents, John Claude Pilette, Sr. of Erath, Sandra Berard of St. Martinville, and Allen Berard, Sr. of Houston, Tx; 3 uncles, John Pilette, Jr. (Derriss) of Iowa Colony, Tx, Greg Pilette (Paula) of Opelousas, and Kevin Pilette of Erath; 3 aunts, Demeter Pilette Joubert of New Iberia, Rita Ann Pilette-Simien (Damien) of Carencro and Mazie Pilette Williams (Jonathan) of Lafayette; 2 god-brothers, Mazon Williams of Lafayette and Christian James of Baton Rouge; along with a community of family, friends, and caregivers who were honored to be a part of his life.

He is now in heaven with his grandmother, Katherine Kay Pilette; great-grandparents, Chester and Maizel James, Lennis and Helen Berard, Eunice and Rosie Pilette, Russell Broussard and Mazie Turner; great-aunts, Laura Anne James, Betty Anne James and Gloria Pilette; great-uncles, Raymond James, Adam Lee, Sr., Wilson Pilette, Ernest Pilette, Sr., Arthur Ray Pilette, Sr. and Joseph Pilette; and honorary godfather, Joseph "Adam" Lee.

His life was a gift and his memory will forever be a blessing.
