Landon was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents Dixie and Ray Hale; his paternal grandparents Foy and Winnie Cowles; and his brother Lance.

For the past three years, Landon battled Ocular Melanoma. While they are heartbroken that the best doctors in Philadelphia and Houston were unable to stop the progress of this terrible cancer, the family would like to express their gratitude to the many doctors and nurses at Thomas Jefferson Hospital, MD Anderson Hospital,and River City Hospice.

In lieu of floral remembrances, the family suggests that donations be made to Big Bend Conservancy or the Ocular Melanoma Foundation.
