Landon Daniel Totenhagen was born on 6/25/2003. He gained his wings on 1/20/2019 when our Lord called him home. At just 15 years old. 
We are asking for help in lessening the financial burdens for Final Expenses and Funeral cost for the family in this time of grief. To give this courageous young warrior a proper funeral. 


Landon was born with a rare genetic disorder  called Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome.
When his mother was pregnant she was told she was going to give birth to a healthy baby boy. Nothing was seen or diagnosed. When Landon arrived it was immediately clear something wasn't right, little did anyone know that the birth of that soul was going to change and impact so many lives. 
Although Landon didn't live the same kind
of life that most of us do, he lived a life that would change the lives around him.
Landon faced many obstacles due to this disorder but he faced and fought through each one with his fighters spirit and courageous soul. He was different and so pure in soul a moment spent with him would change your life and teach you how to live life and love life with a whole different appreciation for the things that truly matter. 
Other than the love his life was so filled with Landons greatest love and happiness belonged to His family, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Paw Patrol and Snoopy but what brought him the greatest joy were other children, his cousin Bella but most of all his brother Jake. Jake was always the hero he looked up to most. The bond these brothers held was amazing. Sheer wonderful happiness came to Landon through these things.

Last week Landon was taken to Children's Hospital due to blood in his trachea and breathing difficulties. Unsure of why this bleeding was occurring and with his o2 stats drastically dropping the doctors did a CT scan and found that there was damage to Landons Carotid Artery and that was causing the bleeding that was filling his lungs with blood. The hardest decision in a parents life needed to be made. His chances of survival were very low, at 20% with that the decision was made to remove life support and allow Landon to go home without the suffering of suffocating to death as his lungs continued to fill with blood. 
It was an almost impossible decision that no parent should have to make. 

From the moment of his diagnoses we all knew that his life would be cut short and he fought long enough to give us all 15 beautiful years with his love and loving him. We are grateful for each moment and the lessons he taught us. 
Whether you know it's indefinite in the future or not the loss is almost incopable.
There is no preparation for this kind of loss. 

This is the hardest time his family has ever faced and with their income very limited from Landons medial care, nursing care and needs over the years funeral costs are almost impossible. Please help this family lay their son and brother to rest with a funeral any parent would hope to give their child. 

Thank you to all and God Bless!
Prayers for the family also appreciated.
