The following was posted on Landon's facebook page several days ago. He passed away on Dec. 28 from a massive heart attack. I talked with Geoffrey and he says he is determined to carry on the company. This in my opinion will be a good thing for Geoffrey I feel will be a little more aggressive and be more daring and get us some deals completed. Landon was a brilliant man but often times he would second guess himself and did too much analysing and over thinking. Just my opinion.
It is with immense sadness that I share that the sun set on my dad’s incredible journey and life on December 28th. To find the “right words” to describe him are impossible. We shared so much together and spoke daily, never were our conversations just surface talk or about the weather. If you knew or were touched by Landon, you know he was a deep and critical thinker. Hours were spent delving into the fabric of life. What I keep coming back to that he not only did exceptionally, but taught and reminded me each day, was to LIVE an authentic life.
Geoffrey and I each have struggled with “announcing” this on Facebook. We wanted to take time to call many of you and “our inner people” as I think it’s extremely difficult to find out on FB about the passing of someone. We apologize to those that we have not reached personally. That being said growing up my parents were very active in our childhood friendships and those that know me beyond that chapter understand what a force my daddy was in my life. So sharing about his passing with each of you here seems right. Our hearts are shattered but we know more than anything each day and every emotion we are feeling are about celebrating the blessings he has given each of us. My brother and his fiancé, my mom, Steve, the boys and I have all been together through these past two weeks. I hear it “gets easier,” “closure” will come and “time heals.” But, I wake each morning with a heavy void in my heart and am learning that life just becomes “different,” especially for a “Daddy’s girl.” My heartfelt appreciation to those that we have shared with during this time, the support that has been given and knowing those who will be right by our side after reading this.
In the words of my dad, from a SIX page college letter I just rediscovered (one of his life lessons and lectures) ... “live a life with direction and purpose, insight and meaning, grow personally and as a family with internal purpose. The events of life are like the rolling of the waves, the changing of the tide, the shifting of the wind-they contain no judgment. The pattern of your years, the flow of your life will be those given to you. LIVE it."
To my dearest brother, Geoffrey, ASNF.
