Pa. boy, 2, who served as parents' best man, has died

06:11 | Labels:

A 2-year-old Pennsylvania boy with leukemia who served as the best man at his parents' wedding over the weekend has died. Christine Swidorsky wrote on her Facebook page late Monday that 2-year-old Logan "took his last breath in my arms" at 8:18 p.m.  Swidorsky and Sean Stevenson, of Jeannette, Pa., had planned to marry next year but moved the ceremony to Saturday so Logan could be involved. "We want Logan in our family pictures, and we want him to see his mother and dad get married," Swidorsky told the Associated Press last week. The couple had recently learned that the boy would likely only live another few weeks. Logan had Fanconi anemia, a disease that often leads to cancer, and was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia when he was 14 months old. The couple's quickly planned wedding took place in their backyard in Jeannette, a small town in Westmoreland County, outside of Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported that Logan wore a tan, pin-striped suit with an orange shirt, and held a favorite stuffed rabbit during the ceremony. "It's just going to be one of those things that you remember all your life," Stevenson told the newspaper. "It means the world to me. We're just blessed every day that he's here with us." After news organizations reported on the impromptu wedding, originally planned for July 2014, last week, the couple was flooded with donations of food, wine and photography services for the wedding. Swidorsky wrote Monday night that she was "in disbelief" but her son "is with angels and he's in no more pain."
