Christopher Landon England was born in Bossier City, Louisiana, on July 10, 2008.
Landon experienced life-altering traumas close together. His parents’ divorce, his mother’s abandonment and subsequent moves to Alabama and then Florida. Then in October 2018, in Panama City, Florida, Hurricane Michael destroyed his home, his school, and most everything he had. And then in December 2018, his mother died.
At the age of 10, Landon, his father and his grandmother moved back to Alabama to be closer to family in hopes for better days ahead.
As Landon reached his teenage years puberty and peer pressure joined the already complicated mental health battle. He had turbulent relationships with family members and school officials. Despite the best efforts of his family, a very special devoted school counselor, a mentor/minister from whom he sought guidance, Landon continued to struggle. Ultimately, he was faced with having to leave the school he attended, so he began online school through Alabama Connections Academy.
The online program seemed to work for him. His grades improved and he was recognized by faculty for his abilities in English and Science. Finally, things appeared to be getting better.
And then they were not.
Despite the best efforts of his family and friends, Landon lost his battle with mental illness and took his own life on March 22, 2024, at the age of 15. Those who knew him struggled to understand how such a bright and beloved young man could have been battling such darkness.
In the wake of their grief, Landon’s loved ones began to reflect on the events that had led to this tragic outcome.
