Logan Harold Kematch-Munroe

It is with great sorrow with the untimely death of Logan under tragic circumstances that his family announces his passing.  Logan was born on January 29, 2003 in Swan River Manitoba to his mother, Esther Kematch.  Logan attended high school until the 11th grade at Swan River.  He reached the tender age of 21 years.   He was cared for by his mother as an infant with the help of his grandparents, Harold and Harriet Kematch and his  uncles, Cecil and Mark Kematch. 

Logan loved life and always wanted good things for all, with special wishes for his only brother Eden.  The story is that he came home from school one day and told his mom, “my name is Cody and my brother’s name is Poodie.”  And this name stuck, Logan loved his little brother.  Logan helped his mom raise his little brother and he was very protective of him.  Those younger years are beautiful memories for the mother.

Logan was easy going and quiet, enjoying company of friends and relatives.  The tumultuous years arrived and Logan fought a lifestyle with all the courage he could muster to garner inner strength, through the teachings  he received in his younger years Logan continued to show  his respect and kindness for others.  These are the traits I want all to remember my son, Logan Harold Kematch-Munro.

The viewing will be held at Paull’s Funeral Home on Friday, November 15, 2024 from 10:00 a.m. to 12 noon.  The procession will begin to Sapotaweyak Cree Nation there after to the Family Cultural Center where the wake will begin.

The funeral service shall be held at the Family Cultural Center on Saturday, November 16, 2024 and shall begin at noon.  Burial will be at the Anglican graveyard and Logan will be laid to rest beside his baby brother, Joseph Harold Kematch.

His Smile

Though his smile is gone

Forever and his hand

I cannot touch

I still have many memories of the I loved so much

His memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part

God has him in his keeping

I have him in my heart

Sadly missed and never forgotten.

My son, kisakitin.  I love you so very much and I will miss you always.  You opened my eyes to many experiences being your mom and I wanted so much more for you.  You will be there waiting for me and your brother one day in the stars with your baby brother Joseph.  Forever in my heart, my son.
