Jerry Long

Jerry Tillman Long, 70, of Raeford died peacefully on September 10, 2022, surrounded by his family.

He was born April 5, 1952, in Cumberland County to the late James T. Long and Gladys Dunn. He was a very sweet, quiet, and humble man who loved his family unconditionally and to the utmost. One of his favorite things to do was to give his family members nicknames. Each of them were gifted a unique nickname that they will always cherish. In his younger days, he was an avid golfer. On Arabia Golf Course, there are many memories, funny stories, pranks, jokes, fussing and cussing, with a little gambling on the side to be forever cherished. He was well known for being the biggest 49ers fan in town. Whether you were passing through Home Food Super Market, walking the fairways, sitting around the poker table, or gathered in his home, there were always “peaceful arguments” to show his devotion to his team. Even his license plate read 49ers #1. 

He was preceded in death by his father James T. Long, his mother, Gladys Dunn, his brothers James (Jimmy) Long, Edward (Bubby) Long, son in law, Ray Burrow, and brother-in-law, William (Bill) Lupo.

He is survived by his loving wife of 51 years, Kathy Long; a son, Chris Long (Melissa); his daughters, Christy Burrow and Casey Long; grandchildren, Jasmine Jackson (Tanner), Trey Long, Marley Long, Jonathan Fraser, Zaidee Burrow, Ava Burrow, and Nathan Burrow; great-grandchildren, Harper Jackson, and Adalind Jackson; sisters, Pat Beasley (Bucky), and Nancy Lupo; sister-in-law, Jean Long, along with Keith and Belinda Davis; and half-siblings, James Thomas Long Jr., Joanna Long, Jamie Long, and Marlena McKnight.

A visitation will be held from 7-9 pm on Tuesday, September 13, 2022, at Crumpler Funeral Home, and at other times at the Home.  

The funeral will be held at 3 p.m. Thursday, September 15, 2022, at the Crumpler Funeral Home Chapel. 

Burial will be at the Shiloh Presbyterian Church Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Long family in memory of Jerry Long.
