An A student, Landon also played football, was a member of the band and was actively involved in various school, church, and community organizations. The Gainesville community has lost an outstanding individual. Landon was known and loved by many; he had a positive disposition and treated everyone with kindness and respect. He made a difference and the Florida lacrosse community has lost a special young man. Landon Rogers is the second Eastside athlete to pass away suddenly. Sarah Landauer, another outstanding Eastside athlete collapsed and died suddenly in 2011. Both athletes were known for their exceptional athletic ability, strong faith and smiles that would light up a room.
