Landon Pistoljevic, age 25, of Richland, Washington, passed away on March 22, 2026.

Landon was a deeply loved son, a loving brother, devoted boyfriend and loyal friend whose presence brought light and comfort to so many.

He is survived by his parents, Melissa and Eldin, and his brother, Carson, his girlfriend, London Gailey along with a wide circle of family and friends who will carry his memory forward with love.

Those who knew Landon will remember the way he made people feel—seen, valued, and understood. He had a rare and genuine kindness, paired with the funniest sense of humor and a creative spirit that touched every part of his life. Landon had a deep passion for literature, reading, writing, and passion to teach everyone around him how movies were made as well as the “real meaning” within them. He found purpose and joy in teaching. He had a natural gift for connecting with others, especially the young lives he helped shape, leaving a lasting impression far beyond what he realized.

He attended the University of Louisiana where he made lifelong friends as part of Epsilon Psi Chapter of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity.

Landon worked as a paraeducator as he pursed his Master’s degree and teaching certification. He was respected not only for his dedication, but for his patience, compassion, and quiet strength. He approached his work and his life with heart.

Outside of work, Landon embraced life fully. He found joy in simple and meaningful moments: experiencing the energy of live music at concerts, spending time with his beloved dogs (Wilson, Felix & Bessie) and making his family & friends laugh. Landon was an avid sports fan and not only cheered for LSU (Geaux Tigers!) New Orleans Saints & Seattle Mariners but could tell you any sports statistics that you wanted (or did not want to know!). He loved movies, music, and sports, but more than anything, he loved being with the people who mattered most to him.

Landon will be remembered for his infectious smile, his generous heart, his unwavering loyalty, and his adventurous spirit. He had a way of bringing warmth into every room and leaving it there long after he was gone.

Though his life was far too short, Landon’s impact was profound. The love he gave, the lives he touched, and the memories he created will remain as a lasting testament to who he was. He will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.

Our lives are forever changed, we will cling to his smile, laughter, humor and all the places he planned to travel.
