In Landon's free time he found peace in the simple things in life like; fishing, his love for cars, playing his many guitars, and most importantly, spending time with his family, especially his daughter Aila. Though his time with us was too short Landon spent his 26 years living life to the fullest.
Those who had the honor to know Landon will remember his infectious smile, his overwhelming laughter, kind heart, and that he never knew a stranger. Landon followed in a line of family members that bravely and admirably served this country and for that we will always be grateful to him.
There are no words that can express how grateful we are to have had Landon for 26 years and all the memories we will hold in our hearts.
