Special Thanks To
Landon James Dragicevich
Landon James Dragicevich entered this world as a Valentine's Day baby on February 14, 2007.
On August 13, 2019 he gained his angel wings after a fierce and brave, after a 2 1/2 year battle against Gliomatosis Cerebri, which is a rare and extremely aggressive form of brain cancer.
Landon will always be incredibly loved by his parents, Melinda, Travis and Becky.
Adored by his brother and sister, Chase and Charlotte.
Doted on by grandparents, Gregg and Penny Marsh, Mary Sue and Rodney Dragicevich, Pat and Julie Jarmusz and Patty Zimmerman.
Spoiled by all of his aunts, uncles and cousins, which are too countless to name.
Taken care of by his amazing classmates and steadfast friends, old and young alike.
And had a medical team made up of oncologists, nurses and neurologists who loved him like one of their own.
Landon had a monumental passion for so many things; sports, video games, Harry Potter, movies and animals (including his own 4-legged pals, Callie, Libby and Meek).
He touched so very many lives and while only being on this earth a mere 12 years, he leaves behind a legacy that will never be forgotten.
You are and always will be loved Landon James; forever and for always.
Dr Stewart Goldman gave Landon all he had, which in turn gave us more time with the boy we love so fiercely. Without Dr Goldman and all of those involved in his care, he never would have had the chance to make all of the memories that his entire family will treasure for eternity
All of your generous donations will go the Pediatric Brain Tumor Program here at Lurie Children's hospital, are tax-deductible and will be acknowledged by Lurie Children's Foundation.
It is our hope that Landon's journey will be shared for years to come and that there will be an advance in research so no other child has to experience what he went through. Landon's fight will not be in vain.
On behalf of Landon, the patients and families of Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital, thank you for your support. Lurie will always hold a special place in our hearts.
Much love from our hearts to yours,
The Dragicevich Family
