Logan Cordell Eagle
FORT HALL — Logan Cordell Eagle known to his family as “Beagle Butt” left us on May 15, 2025 with his best friend and longtime companion Monnie Broncho at his side. His Grandma Lillie was probably the first to welcome him home.
He was born on July 7, 1972, to Cordell Hull Eagle and Velma Rae Broncho McCrary "Punch" in Pocatello, Idaho. He lived most his life in Fort Hall, with a few years in Oregon.
Logan was a jack of all trades — he was a cowboy, firefighter, meat cutter, security officer, remodeling with his grandpa Lavar and dad Brett and a clerk at Dollar Tree. If you ever needed help with anything from housework to building things, Logan was your man, there was nothing he wouldn't do or try. He also loved working on all his Rez cars.
Logan lived his traditional ways as best he could. He sundanced at Buffalo Lodge but never got to finish. He enjoyed the mountains, hunting, Bottoms, singing Sundance songs, and dancing to R&B (Temptations). Cruising the back roads and jamming to his music was his happiness.
He loved family, even when they weren't his own. Whenever he got a girlfriend, if she had children, they became his children and there was plenty. Logan was a kind soul not a mean bone in his body, always smiling and laughing.
Logan had a ton of kids that's why he nicknamed himself yogan Logan: Caitlin Rae Marie, Nova Lou, Thomas, Nevada with Tara Pongah. Melanie Ann with Doreen Doore. Kevin with Zita Murillo and 12 grandkids.
Logan is survived by his mother Punch McCrary, stepdad Brett McCrary, siblings Paul Scott Stonecipher, Nummie Faith Tendoy, Adam Lee Broncho Shayna Rae Martin and step-brother Geddy Lopez. Aunts Angelita Broncho, Cheryl Lee Calico, MaryAnn Appenay. Uncle David Bitters. His Grandpa Everett Ghangraw and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his father, maternal grandparents Leeland Broncho and Lillie Martin Ghangraw. Ingie and Lourinda Ingawanup, Midred LaMere, Eldean "Babe" Neilson, Gayle Jim, Lavar and Alrita McCrary, paternal grandparents Homer and Nell Cutler. Ella Appenay. Uncles Manuel Enos Broncho, Gary Lyle Broncho, Laverne Micheal Broncho, Keith Roy Ingawanup, Fidel Borjas Jr., Lloyd Donovan Jimm, Marlin Jimmy Jimm, Harry Springfield, Carlino Broncho, Dennis Broncho, and Danny Eagle.
Aunts Florine, Aurelia Broncho Marsh and Wanda Charles. Cousins Corey Lane Broncho, Mindy Marie Moss, Thayne Broncho. Niece and nephews Rae Broncho, Saxon Broncho and Legend Derouche & grandson Zachary Seth Tendoy.
