Landon King

It is with deep sorrow and heartfelt love that we announce the passing of our beloved Landon King, who left this world on April 9, 2026, at the tender age of 23. Landon was born on March 30, 2003, in the heart of Missouri, a place he forever called home. Landon was a young man whose life, though tragically cut short, was rich with love and laughter. He was the cherished son of Angel Morris and Cobain King. As a family, they shared an unbreakable bond, filled with warmth and a deep, abiding love that could be felt by anyone who had the privilege of knowing them. Landon's vibrant spirit and gentle nature were a testament to the values instilled in him by his devoted parents. Growing up, Landon was a beacon of joy to his siblings—his sister Aiyiona, and brothers Bryant-Michael and Tyson. Together, they shared many adventures, from backyard games to holiday gatherings, creating a treasure trove of memories that will be held close to their hearts forever. Landon's infectious smile and kind heart left a lasting impression on all who knew him. In addition to his immediate family, Landon shared a special bond with his favorite cousin, Shiyra. The two were more than family; they were the best of friends. Whether they were sharing stories late into the night or simply enjoying each other’s company, their connection was a testament to the power of love and loyalty. Landon's life was tragically ended far too soon, a victim of senseless violence. While the circumstances of his passing have left us with heavy hearts, we choose to celebrate the extraordinary life he led and the legacy he leaves behind. He was a young man of great promise, known for his compassion and the kindness he extended to everyone he met. Landon had dreams and aspirations, and although he is no longer with us, his spirit will continue to inspire those he touched. In honoring Landon’s memory, we remember the joy he brought into our lives. We remember his laughter, his courage, and his unwavering love for his family and friends. Though our hearts are broken, we find solace in knowing that his spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved him. A private service to celebrate Landon’s life will be held by his family. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honor Landon by performing an act of kindness in his memory, spreading the love and compassion that he embodied throughout his life. Landon King will be deeply missed but never forgotten. May his soul rest in peace, and may we find comfort in the cherished memories we shared with him.
