Solenne Frappreau Landon, I was your first French au pair. You had just moved to California with your family after spending the first years of your life in Luxembourg. You were the cutest 3 year old. You had the chubbiest cheeks, a contagious smile and you loved cuddles, Thomas the train and Bob the builder. You understood French perfectly and spoke it too (even if I sometimes had to bribe you with blueberries so you'd answer in French :) ) . That year sharing the life of your family, was one of the best years of my life. I loved being your nanny and I dearly love your family. I will miss you my little bubby. Love, Solenne

Anne Henderson My son was one of the lucky kiddos on the football team that Landon coached this spring. The boys ADORED him and talked about how cool he was! At the end of the season that wanted Landon to come to Amy’s Ice Cream and celebrate with them. They won the championship under Landon’s direction, he was an amazing coach. We was truly gifted in the coaching arena…quiet, always keeping his cool, but had his head in the game ALWAYS! It was one of Charlie’s favorite seasons for sure. Thank you Landon for showing our boys how to play hard all while being humble. ❤️

Tara Christie Kinsey In March 2019, our two families spent time together at Blackberry Farm. Even then, I immediately noted Landon's sheer intellectual brilliance as well as the extraordinary force of his will. As I took this photo, I remembered Psalm 62:6 "I shall not be moved." He was a beautiful brilliant boy with a bright future, and he was always going to do it his way. Rest in peace, beautiful Landon.

I remember standing in my kitchen with Hilary learning that she was newly pregnant with twins. The excitement! I remember Brent's story of their heroic birth, and that it gave me chills.

Connor Vasek Every day after 6th period I would walk with Landon to my next class. Once he got a leg injury, we had to start riding the elevator instead. However, one day Landon decided to crutch down the stairs instead of riding the elevator. I thought he was crazy for that, so I had to get a video. This showed Landon’s great determination. Landon never failed to put a smile on my face when I was around him. I love you and miss you brother❤️

Landon was a joy to coach. I was so looking forward to his senior year because I believed he would be overlooked for his size until they couldn't overlook him anymore. He grabbed my attention at one 7 on 7 game where a 6'4" WR caught the first touchdown of the game on a lob pass against Landon. He celebrated by holding the ball over Landon and taun...

Ali Ashworth Stewart Like you, we live away from family for our day-to-day and have found that friends and the church community become our daily family. Our kids look especially forward to family events because it is there where they’ve experienced a deep love across many generations, despite a variety of thoughts, beliefs, and lifestyles. It’s been too long since we’ve been with y’all, as there have been 6 busy kids between us. Sports, academics, jobs, music responsibilities, etc. have kept us apart for a while, but memories of simpler days are long-standing. Thank you, Bellms, for sharing your time with us in Alaska, Canada, California, The Center of the Universe (Carlinville, IL), and at a variety of family wedding tables, funeral tables, and dinner tables. We hold these memories close and anticipate, with eagerness, future opportunities for bonding. Our kids ARE the same ages with some overlapping interests, so it’ll surely be FUN!!!

Landon's knowledge of the talent pool in the 22-23 NFL season was extensive. Although I was his English teacher, assisting him with essay development and such at the time, he was a teacher when it came to explaining to me what players would be the best for my fantasy football roster on certain weeks. My team ended in first place this past season; i...

I remember when Brent, Aaron and Landon came over to our house to use our tools to work on the pinewood derby cars. Dylan and I had a scroll saw so you could cut the perfect curve for the car's body. In typical Bellm-fashion, Landon and Aaron were all-in, as was his father, to win the competition. :)

Jeffrey Mosler My absolute, all-time favorite Landon story.... I remember spending an evening with Brent at the Bellm home. It was early, the kids were still awake, and Brent served some wine and treats. Then, he ushered the boys downstairs to bed, he came back up and said to me, "Now let's get the good stuff!", and he opened up some special chocolate. Well, Landon knew that Brent might open the chocolate, and he had snuck back up the stairs to see if that would be the case. As soon as the chocolate appeared, he leapt out from the darkness to get a square!

I remember watching Landon in his first swim races for the ACC Dolphins. Since I was the starter, I had the best seat in the house, and I remember I used to text Brent about the kids' personal bests. The Bellm boys never disappointed, but it was actually the next Bellm offspring, Scarlett, who was the natural in the water!

The first picture was at a lobster roll shack on the way to the ceremony, and the second was with Uncle "Landon 2" Ashworth at dad's business school in Boston.

It was literally my first day as assistant principal at BPE (which was sometime in February) and I was shadowing Mr. Wirht. Landon and his buddies were referred to Mr. Wirht for a "pep talk" (probably some over-competitiveness at recess if I had to guess). We were standing on the sidewalk, right outside the gym.

He might be the funniest person I have ever met. His wit and sarcasm rival the greatest comedians I've ever met. When we were in Boston for a cousin's retirement ceremony Landon and Aaron were giving each other relentless hell.

Mary Emma Partain Landon was and incredible role model to this team. Teddy loved having him as a coach, so much so that Landon babysat for Teddy, a couple of friends, and his brothers, Gus and Harry. That was fun for all to have such a cool, kind, and talented teenager hang with them. Landon interacted with the kids well and was so encouraging. He texted me, "Teddy has been a pleasure to have on the team.... he is a good morale booster, and the other kids get excited when he makes a play. He had a big touchdown catch Sunday and really helped get us back into the game after a rough start." Landon was thoughtful in how he coached and clearly was sincere in the way he interacted with them and built them up. After babysitting, he said he "had a great time last night. It was nice to catch up with the team." He was a real gift to the boys. It's no wonder they had a winning season with him at the helm. You should be so proud. He's missed by all he touched.
