Family and friends are mourning the loss of 17-year-old Landon Lucas after he died unexpectedly June 21.
Described by many as a “pure soul,” Landon was set to start his senior year at Canyon High School in the fall and return to the swim team, which he’d been a part of in 10th grade, according to his mother, Kelli Lucas.
“He was 6-foot-5 and like 240 pounds, so he was man-sized, but still a little boy inside,” Kelli Lucas said, adding she was almost worried about him going out into the world because he was so kindhearted. “He told me he loved me probably a thousand times a day.”
