Michael was a major TV father figure, but an approachable one. He was a comforting presence in every show he worked on. The only thing he loved more than his work was his family. He had nine children who were all dear to him. His trademark humor made their everyday lives an adventure. He never lost the childhood urge to play and experiment.
One day, the Landon family’s playful, peaceful lives were shattered. Michael was diagnosed with cancer of the liver and pancreas. Was it from the contaminated site where Little House was filmed? Was it his lifestyle? No one knows how it formed. What was known was that it was inoperable and incurable. He would have to find a way to cope with the symptoms the best he could.
That’s exactly what Michael did. He used humor and a positive attitude to overcome his struggles and fought back against tabloid rumors. He kept fighting as long as he could. The end came soon after his final magazine interview. Michael’s children remember him fondly. They hope his bravery in the face of such a diagnosis rubbed off on them.
They also work to fund research into pancreatic cancer. It remains one of the less-researched and more deadly forms. More funding can prevent others from going through what their family did.
They also hope his work and devotion to his family continue to inspire others. His story reminds the world to hold each other close before it’s too late.
