Publish in a newspaper
Born in Hutchinson, Kansas, on October 8, 1962, Scott was the son of William and Joan (Jacobs) Long, Sr. He graduated from Hutchinson High School and attended Kansas State University, where he developed a lifelong love for the Wildcats. A true sports enthusiast, Scott also enjoyed golfing and cheering on his favorite teams.
For many years, Scott worked in the family business in Hutchinson before relocating with his family to Ocoee, Florida. On April 8, 1985, Scott married his high school sweetheart, Tenley Wiard, at Hutchinson United Methodist Church. Together, they shared 40 wonderful years of marriage.
Scott is survived by his beloved wife, Tenley Long, and their son Kyle Long, daughter-in-law Ashley Long, and cherished granddaughter Kennedy Long, all of Beaver, West Virginia. He is also survived by his father, William Long Sr.; his brother, Jim Long; and his sister, Ann Farley, all of Hutchinson. Additionally, Scott leaves behind nieces Tessa Farley (Miles) of Hutchinson, Sara Long of Fort Worth, Texas, and Rachel Burke (Shawn) of Midlothian, Texas, and nephew Seth Farley of Hutchinson, along with many cousins, extended family members, and dear friends.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Joan Long, and his brother, Bill Long Jr.
Scott will be remembered for his humor, his warm heart, and his unwavering love for his family and alma mater. A celebration of his life will be held in Hutchinson at a later date. Hutchinson Funeral Chapel is in charge of the arrangements.
