Just 15 years old, Landryk brightened the life of those around him with his kindness, support of others, wit, adventurous spirit and his successful pursuit of intellectual and athletic excellence. Landryk's family, friends and community are in shock, disbelief and deep grief at his completely unexpected taking of his own life. His parents would like to honor their son's strongly held beliefs with an eco-friendly service and burial that can help transform Landryk's body to compost to provide pure nourishment for flowers and a tree planted in his honor in Scott Carpenter Park. Landryk's name means "keeper of the land." Let's raise the funds to do this. Funds remaining after costs will be used to fund an athletic scholarship and/or a suicide awareness/prevention program.

In 2012, I had the honor to teach a small alphabet movement class for Landryk and a few friends. Merlyn supplied the camera, and Chris filmed. I chose these clips from that wonderful day to share here.
Memories of Landryk moving in community.

We climbed to the top of a building in a construction site together. It felt like we were on top of the world. I’m shocked and sad that I won’t be able to do this stuff with you again. I hope you are climbing the tallest mountain or building wherever you are.
Landryk, such great memories we had with you. It would have been nice if we could travel to more places together, nerding out about things like ways to calculate the height of Hoover dam, and finding more creatively academic ways to describe taboo words.... moreLandryk, such great memories we had with you. It would have been nice if we could travel to more places together, nerding out about things like ways to calculate the height of Hoover dam, and finding more creatively academic ways to describe taboo words. We've parted ways for now - all the best to your adventures on the other side.

Dear Landyrk, missing you, your smile..and the fruit pies you made love Robin less
We love how Landryk so often had a smile to share - so kind and talented. Luke and Tessa feel grateful to have grown up along side him and they have many memories they will cherish.
Landryk, you excelled at everything you tried. Your creativity and playfulness made every day brighter. You showed loyalty and kindness to Abe from the very first day of Kindergarten. Your friends will miss you always. We are lucky to have known you.
Run, Landryk run. Speed right through the universe. My love will follow you everywhere you go. I always said I'd love you "all the way to moon... and back." -- Mom
