Landon Samek

Landon William David Samek

Landon was born on June 20th 2015 to parents Shailla Fairweather and Kevin Samek. Landon required open heart surgery after he was born due to a heart defect and on June 30th 2015, he underwent this operation. Shortly after his surgery Landon went into heart failure. After a second surgery and days of test doctors found that there was nothing they could do for Landon. On July 10th 2015 Landon’s parents made the heartbreaking decision to let Landon go. Landon leaves behind his loving parents Kevin and Shailla, grandparents (Andrea, David, Penny, and Randy), and sisters Alayah and Athena.

Our sincerest thanks go to the amazing team at CHEO who never gave up on Landon and who gave him the best chance possible. Also a big thank you to everyone who followed Landon’s journey and kept him in their thoughts and prayers.
