A terminally-ill two-year-old has died days after he served as the best man at his parents’ wedding.

Logan Stevenson died in the arms of his mother Christine Swidorsky Stevenson on Monday night. ‘He is with angels and he’s in no more pain,’ she wrote on Facebook.

Mrs Swidorsky Stevenson married Logan’s father Sean Stevenson in a hastily-arranged ceremony in Jeannette, Pittsburgh, in the US state of Pennsylvania, on Saturday.

The Pennsylvania couple plans to have their dying toddler serve as the groom's best man when they wed on Saturday, Aug. 3. The couple had planned to wed next year, but decided to move the ceremony up to Saturday so the boy, who has leukemia and other complications, could participate.

They had planned to wed in July 2014 but brought the wedding forward after being told last month that Logan, who had leukaemia and suffered from other complications, had just weeks to live.

Wearing a tiny pinstripe suit and orange shirt, Logan dozed off to sleep during the ceremony in his grandmother Debbie Stevenson’s arms as a result of his medication.

Logan was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia shortly after his birthday on October 22, 2010, and underwent stem cell transplant and had a tumour-ravaged kidney removed.

When further tests revealed mass in his remaining kidney, doctors delivered their terminal prognosis.

At the wedding, Mrs Swidorsky Stevenson’s daughter Isabella Johns, 13, served as the bridesmaid, and the couple’s one-year-old daughter Savannah as the flower girl.

‘This is our dream come true,’ the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette quoted the bride as saying, in reference to Logan witnessing their wedding day.
