Logan Young

Family Service Counsellor | Funeral Director

My name is Logan Young. I was born and raised in Windsor. My mom, Tina, has always been the most important person in my growth and successes throughout my life. I have a one-eyed cat named Matey. My grandparents Carolyn and Stuart Masse worked at Chrysler, where my grandpa was also an executive there. My aunt Kim and uncle Phil also grew up in the Windsor-Essex area before moving to London and later Vancouver where my uncle is a Minister with the United Church. My great-grandpa was a WWII veteran and always made it a point to support veterans after the war. In my personal time, I enjoy being with my family and friends. Hobbies of mine are golf in the summer and hockey in the winter. I played hockey for Windsor Minor Hockey as well as captaining the Massey High school team. I volunteer with the Windsor Goodfellows and assist with their annual paper drive.



I began working for Families First in 2013, following a semester of co-op in high school. It only took a short time to realize my passion for helping families through their most difficult time. In 2015, I went to Humber College to become a Licensed Funeral Director. Presently, I’ve been licensed for over five years. I spent four years in Bobcaygeon, Ontario, as a funeral director prior to moving home to Windsor in 2020.

(nee Soucie)

Family Service Counsellor | Licensed Funeral Preplanner

Hi, I am Heather Brokalakis (nee. Soucie) I am a proud Licensed Funeral Pre-planner at Families First, and have been serving families in this position for the past three years. I studied psychology at the University of Windsor. After I finished school, I married the love of my life, Nick Brokalakis and we have a beautiful fur family. Our 3 cats and our dog Sargent bring us both so much joy. Nick’s grandparents are members and supporters of Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Church. I grew up in the small town of Harrow with my parents and five brothers and sisters. My father Philip, and Uncle Rob own General Gun and Supply. Many law enforcement officers, gun owners, and hunters have been supporting our family's business over the past 30 years. I began going to the range to do target practice. Some people would call me a country girl. My mother Patty also owns a business called “Reiki in the Woods and Forest Bathing the Senses”. My mom has taught me how important and healthy being outdoors is for your mind and body. Thanks to her, one of my hobbies is going outside and enjoying all that nature offers with my husband.
