The New Baltimore community is grieving the tragic loss of 17-year-old Logan Michael Wilhelm, a beloved Anchor Bay High School student who died by suicide on June 21, 2025. His passing has left family, friends, and classmates in shock and mourning, as they remember a young life full of potential, kindness, and creativity.
Born on March 12, 2008, in East China Township, Logan was the cherished son of Michael and Heather Wilhelm and a devoted brother to Elena Wilhelm. As he prepared for his senior year at Anchor Bay High, Logan was known for his gentle spirit, sharp intellect, and deep love of music. Whether strumming his guitar or exploring nature on a hike, Logan found joy in both quiet reflection and meaningful connection.
Logan’s family describes him as someone who lit up every room he entered — thoughtful, compassionate, and deeply loved. He was a young man with many talents and a heart that was often more focused on others than himself. He especially treasured time spent with family, whether it was during camping trips, shared meals, or simply being together.
He is survived by his parents, Michael and Heather; sister, Elena; grandparents Bill and Sue Currier and Kristine Wilhelm; uncles Steven Wilhelm, Bill Currier Jr., Jeff Currier, and Keith (Amy) Currier; and many cousins, extended family members, and friends who were touched by his kindness and warmth. Logan was preceded in death by his grandfather Joseph Wilhelm and uncle Richard Wilhelm.
As word of Logan’s passing spread, tributes have poured in from classmates, teachers, and community members. Many have taken to social media to share stories of Logan’s generosity, musical talent, and the quiet strength he brought to those around him. The Anchor Bay school community has made grief counseling and mental health support available to students and families in the wake of the tragedy.
