Landon Avory Akins – Exploreclarion

Landon Avory Akins, our beloved son, 16 from Cadogan, died tragically on Saturday, March 22, 2025.

He was born in Kittanning August 4, 2008 and was the estimated son of Leighan (Greg) Berry and the late Barry Alan (surviving Ami) Akins, Jr.

Landon visited Armstrong Jr./Sr. High school and planned to visit Lenape Tech to create a brilliant future. He loved to ride his dirt bike with all his friends, to drive with AWRCs, fish, hunt and camp. Landon loved spending time with his family, was looking forward to the deer camp every year and really enjoyed the campfires in the Riggle House.

Landon had an absolute joie de vivre and always shared his love with the large number of friends who were made during his short 16 years. It is missing by so many and appreciated for the rest of our lives. May he rest in peace.
