First of all Landen was a devout christian and we will never know how many individual lives he touched. Even though Landen was sick, he was a joy to be around and was extremely funny.
I loved going on my facebook page and scrolling until I found Landen’s picture’s and loved reading about him, watching his video’s and seeing his pictures. He was full of joy and his smile just melted the hearts of a lot of people! I always prayed that Gods Will Be Done ! Now Landen go rest in the arms of Jesus little Buddy I love you !
There are no words…but I want you to know what an inspiration Landen and your family has been to so many people. We love you guys and will continue to pray for you all!
We do leave our sincere sympathy and prayers with you at this time.
Landen touched so many lives in his short life. He was a Soldier for the Lord. WE were so blessed to have known Landen and we will never forget him. Our prayers are with the family for comfort and strength. Until we meet again on Heavens golden streets. All our Love.
Landen’ story has touched so many lives as we followed him on Facebook. Looked forward to seeing the pictures of his smiling face every day. I am heartbroken, as so many others are. Will continue to pray for the family as you face this most difficult time in your life. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.
Landen was such an inspiration to me , as you all have been. I had the privilege of meeting Landen with his papa and nana when visiting Davis FWBChurch a few years ago. I fell in love with this precious young man. If I hadn’t been preached to by pastor Reuben Cason during church, I certainly got it after. What an amazing fella. Truly a gift from God. He will be truly missed. But thank God for his promises you will be together one day again . Thank you all for sharing your lives with us the last few years most importantly the Faith you have demonstrated to all is remarkable. We love you all and are in our prayers . May god bless you and keep you . Much love and prayers 🙏🏻❤️
Landen was such a great inspiration to all who was blessed to know him and his love and faith foot God .I know heaven is rejoicing.much love to your family.
I loved Landen he was a soldier for the Lord he will be missed he’s in a better place my prayers are going out to the family. Praise The Lord.
Landen has touched so many lives, even to Raleigh, NC. I will never forget Landen. I prayed for him every day, but God needed another angel. My heart breaks for the family, but I know he is no longer suffering or in pain. May the Lord Jesus Christ wrap His arms
around this family, and give you comfort and peace. Rest In Peace, dear Landen.
Landen has blessed my heart in so many ways. This big guy is the most precious little boy I know. Love and Prayers Forever🙏💙
This angel has deeply touched me. Love and prayers to the family.
God’s young missionary. His testimony reached so many! Will be praying for abundant grace for his parents and family.
We did not know Landen personally but We have grown to love this precious boy and his family as we have been following Landen’s story. Family rest in knowing Landen has touched and blessed so many lives during his short but meaningful journey. Praying for God’s comfort, peace and love overwhelm you in the days ahead. Know that we are praying for you and will continue to do so as Landen’s story will live on forever.
Nothing I can say will ease the pain of Landens loved ones. I pray that the Lord comforts them and gives them peace….peace in the knowledge that he is no longer in pain…no more suffering…no more tears…no more struggles. Landen was so very special…his family is so blessed that Jesus chose them…out of all the people in the world, God chose them to have the blessing of Landen. He faced his challenges with love, strength, laughter, and faith…faith in his Savior, faith in knowing that God never left his side…not for one minute. His journey had its ups and downs, tears and laughter but he ended victoriously. He is alive…in the arms of Jesus. He is smiling, laughing,….his body is healed. He will be reunited with his loved ones again…forever. Thank you Lord, for your gift of Salvation, available to all who are born again. We will miss you Landen.
Praiseing God for the Life( though short lived) of Landen only in heave will will know the true story of the many he has touch, sending Prayers and hugs
