He had two sons, Mark and John, through adoption with his first wife Dodie Levy-Fraser. Landon and his second wife, Lynn Noe, welcomed four children together β Leslie, Michael Jr., Christopher, and Shawna, and he also adopted Noeβs daughter, Cheryl, whom she had from a previous relationship.
With Cindy Clerico, who was 20 years his junior, Landon had children Jennifer and Matthew.
In 2019, Jennifer spoke about her late father and told Closer Weekly that he was βa fantastic father who was curious about everything and loved to teach the children.β
Following Landonβs passing, his children were devastated. His son Christopher Landon, who works as a director, opened up about his dadβs last days and explained that his father became like a βson,β while Christopher took on a role as βthe father.β
Landon died of pancreatic cancer, and unfortunately, his son Christopher was also diagnosed with cancer in 2021.
