Peddlin' Paras to Host Memorial Bike Ride Honoring Logan Williams

Granite City, Ill., August 2, 2025 – Peddlin' Paras, a group of paraprofessionals from Granite City Community Unit School District #9, is organizing a memorial bike ride on Saturday, Sept. 13 in honor of Logan Williams, a senior at Triad High School who tragically passed away on July 8 following an automobile accident.

The 10-mile round trip ride starts at 7 a.m. and will take participants from Triad High School - 703 E. US HWY 40, Troy, IL - to Logan’s residence - 8641 Blackjack Hollows Lane, Troy, IL - and back, paying tribute to his memory and showing support for his family and community.

Logan's parents, Todd and Toni (Mendez) Williams, are both 1995 graduates of Granite City High School, making this memorial especially meaningful to many in the GCSD9 family.
