 Landon Guglielmana, of Madera, California packed more living into 18 years than some people will in a lifetime. On the way back to Limestone College from Thanksgiving break, the freshman’s car ran off the road. His life ended.
His legacy did not. “Landon was the type of person, even if you only met him for a minute, you’d love him forever, and always remember him.” Courtney Taotoai , friends with Landon at Limestone, says if there was music playing, Landon was dancing. She remembers that he was always happy, always smiling. Landon told her he missed home, but had found his Christian family through FCA.
“Everybody knew where he stood and how strong his faith was. He liked being at Limestone because nobody would criticize him for being a Christian. He loved being here and being a part of FCA; he really felt like this was the reason why he was in SC.”
Landon served his new community through Meals on Wheels, encouraged everyone he met, and was often seen reading his Bible on campus. Friends say he simply lived out Jesus. Seeing Landon’s contagious spirit was always a joy to SC FCA staffer Pierre Salmon, who was Landon’s volleyball chaplain. “Landon was the big kid, like the little kid from the movie Pay It Forward. He came into every situation doing for others what they could not do for themselves. Bringing laughter, excitement, he was just life.”
 Coached by his father, Landon embodied everything FCA stands for, giving his all on and off the court. He never got to play his first match for Limestone’s inaugural men’s volleyball team. But Salmon says the 18-year-old will forever be the 7th man on the team, always on the court in spirit. His give-it-all, live excellently attitude has forever changed the college campus. “Every night between the hours of 9pm and 10pm, students are meeting in his room and praying. So what has come out of his life are many Bible studies that will begin in January, students ministering to each other, wanting to do more, wanting to carry out his legacy.”
His legacy? Live Loud Like Landon!

Landon’s parents emailed an FCA staffer before their son headed all the way across the USA for college. It was a great comfort to them, knowing there would be a group of Christians ready to get Landon plugged in. FCA was an outlet for Landon, and is for other students, to fellowship, grow, and share Christ with peers. To find out how you can become involved or give to this ministry, please
