Meet Logan Prout
This is Logan Michael Prout, who came into the world November 8 weighing 5 pounds, 10 ounces and now lives with mom Megan and big brother Parker in California.
Logan starts life without a dad. Mike Prout, one of the founding chefs of St. John’s La Plancha del Mar, died six months ago after an accidental fall at his home on St. John.
Says a friend of Megan’s, “Parker was initially upset that Logan was not a girl, but quickly got over his disappointment and enthusiastically proceeded to count Logan’s fingers and toes, ensuring all 20 were there.” (They were.)
Megan, Parker and Logan have each other, but could still use a little help as they look ahead to the future, and donations to help Mike’s family in the wake of his passing are being accepted via the St. John Revolving Fund at both Connections locations and by phone: 340-776-6922.
Your dad was pretty cool Logan!

Mike was a really special guy. His life touched a lot more people than he probably could have guessed, and his death hit us hard. Miss him badly.

I just showed this to my husband, Mike’s dad. He cried for the first time in months. You’ve all touched his heart. God bless you.
Mike’s Mom, Betty

What a beautiful boy.
I have thought of Megan and Parker often in the last six months.
It’s still so hard to know what to say in the face of such loss, but I hope that Megan, Parker and Logan get the help that they need to carry them forward into their new lives.
Thank you for the update and the information on how to help.

The best to Logan and family, you have an angel watching over you all.
