Hundreds begin to say goodbye to 6-year-old Logan Tipton

The visitation for 6-year-old Logan Tipton was held at the Clark Funeral Home in Versailles Thursday from 2p.m.-8p.m.

Hundreds of people showed up to the funeral home to say goodbye to Logan Tipton. For a majority of the six hour long visitation, there was a line out the front door and onto the lawn of the funeral home. As guests walked up the sidewalk to the funeral home, they were greeted by a makeshift football field, because Logan loved playing the game of football.

"Logan was a very sweet little boy, always smiling and loved football. He was fierce out there on the field. He was little, but he was fierce and strong,” Lesha McKee said.

McKee’s 6-year-old son, Josiah was a teammate, classmate and friend of Logan Tipton.

"He is a strong boy on our team,” Josiah McKee said.

As many were saying goodbye to Logan at the Clark Funeral Home, less than a mile away at the First Christian Church, a group of Woodford County High school students were putting on an orchestra concert in an effort to raise money for the Tipton family.

"Tonight was a concert we already had prearranged with the Salvation Army. But in light of our recent tragedy here in our community, our students approached me about possibly splitting the proceeds with the Tipton family. And after I approached the Salvation Army they were more than glad to accept that offer and the students really felt moved and compelled to do this,” Woodford County Schools Director of Orchestras Greg Marsee said.

The funeral for Logan Tipton will be held Friday at 11:00a.m. at the Community Stadium Field in Versailles.

"We always know that Logan is going to be an angel watching over everybody,” McKee said.
