On February 4, 2019, Asa made his final journey to be with his loving wife, Marilyn, and his Lord and Savior. He was born on August 5, 1934 in Corpus Christi, Texas to John Douglas and Mary Alice Griffin Logan. He graduated in 1952 from W. B. Ray High School in Corpus Christi, attended DelMar College in Corpus Christi and Texas A&I in Kingsville. He was affectionately called “Pops” by his grandchildren and great grands, and always gave them “knuckles.”
He was employed as a paperboy during his teenage years and college days by the Corpus Christi Caller-Times. Asa married his high school sweetheart, Marilyn Meyer, on September 30, 1955. Their first date was at the original Whataburger in Corpus Christi. Asa was employed by Central Power and Light in 1952 and retired after 40 years of service. Asa was a member of John Wesley United Methodist Church.
Asa was preceded in death by his parents and wife. He is survived by daughters, Kay (David) Yaws of Victoria, Karen (Terry) Fleeman of Bloomington, sons, Scott (Brigitte) Logan of La Salle and Bryan (Shannon) Logan of Austin; nieces, Norma (Bill) Worthington of Taneytown, Maryland, Sherry (Randy) Schwirtlich of Robstown and nephew, Gordon “Bill” Meyer of Dallas; grandchildren: Stacey (Jevon) Cheuvront of Seminole, Tiffany (Jeff) Finley of Bloomington, Meagan (Jason) Clemons of Victoria, AJ (Marcy) Logan of Corpus Christi, Taryn (Nick) Flores of Victoria, Kyle (Tracy) Logan of Victoria, Stephanie (Tyler) Pekar of Hallettsville, Allison (Reagan) Richter of Victoria, Katie Nelson (Josh Johnson) of Austin, Amber Logan of La Salle; great-grandchildren: Jordan, Cristin, Jason and Kayden Clemons; Ivan, Brodie, Laryn and Larsyn Flores; Levi and Lexi Finley, Logan and Hadley Cheuvront; Gunner and Suthern Pekar; Landon and Kinley Logan; Aubrey, Lynleigh and Leighton Logan; Zoey and Ellie Kay Richter.
Funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, February 11, 2019, with visitation to be at 9:00 a.m. at John Wesley United Methodist Church. Burial will immediately follow at Crescent Valley Cemetery. Casket bearers will be AJ Logan, Kyle Logan, Terry Fleeman, David Yaws, Jeff Finley, Jason Clemons, Nick Flores and Tyler Pekar.
Asa enjoyed watching the deer and sunsets at his home located on the Twenty Oaks Farm, as well as the sunsets off the deck at the creek house. His sidekick, Tiny, will surely miss him. We will all miss his stories, conversations, and wisdom. He always told us, “You are my billion dollar family, I love you, I’m proud of you, and look out for those other guys.”
The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to Dr. McFarland and the nurses at DeTar Hospital for the love and care of Asa (“Pops”). “Your life is made of two dates and a dash, make the most of the dash.” Donations may be made to John Wesley United Methodist Church.
