James (Goober) B. Logan was born in Calhoun County, Mississippi on July 20, 1946 and passed away at Methodist Sugar Land hospital on October 22, 2018.

He proudly served in the U.S. Army with the 1 ^st Calvary division and was deployed to Korea in the 1960's.

He worked in the construction industry for over 50 years working as a civil superintendent for Brown and Root, Kaverner/John Brown, W.T. Byler and several other construction companies. He was known as the "best dirt guy" in the Houston area by many of his superiors and fellow workers.

Goober loved to hunt, fish, and trail ride. But his true love was working with his mules. He participated in the first mule pull at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in 1984 and continued for over 25 years until a stroke in 2009 prevented him from pulling.
