Wren Logan's Obituary
Wren Logan Romero-Spates was a wonder to all who met them. They were sometimes quiet and shy on the surface, but to those who knew them closely they were a vibrant and charismatic light that shone through their smile and illuminated the lives of everyone they knew.
Wren was born a twin with their brother Brian in Silver Spring on December 31st, 1999. They studied technical theatre at Anne Arundel Community College and then at University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Theatre was not their only passion — they also loved to work with kids, both inside and outside of the theatre. They were passionate about animals and creatures of all kinds, and loved and was loved by them all. Wren’s cat Sumuji was a significant part of their life and they treasured her like a child.
Wren met their spouse Orion Romero in 2018 while they both attended Anne Arundel Community College. They first crossed paths at Gay-Straight Alliance and bonded over their mutual hatred of technology class. Their friendship developed into love, and the two best friends got married June 1st, 2024 surrounded by nature and loved ones. Orion describes Wren as the yin to their yang, perfectly balancing each other's energy and needs.
Wren is preceded in death by their mother Janet DeSavage, their grandmothers Sally DeSavage and Linda Spates, and their grandfather Bernie DeSavage. They are survived by their spouse Orion Romero, their brother Brian Spates, their grandfather Wayne Spates Sr., their aunt Judy and uncle Kenny DeSavage, their aunt Cheryl Sellner, their aunt Samantha and uncle Martin Shaw, and many cousins.
Wren was genderfluid and didn’t live by anyone's standards but their own. They encompassed many beautiful forms and still used the name Kathryn on occasion because they had embraced all forms of themself. Wren was passionate about the Queer community and was there as a helping hand and a kind voice for those who needed it.
