Steve died at his home, surrounded by the love of his family, on Friday, January 20, 2023. He was born in Newark, Ohio on November 8, 1951, to the late Frank A. and Anna V. (Brooks) Long.

Steve was a handyman and enjoyed working in the outdoors, using his tractor and keeping a vegetable garden. He was an avid OSU fan, and loved to work in his kitchen, cooking and baking for his family.
He will be greatly missed by his wife of 45 years, Lori (Fisher) Long; children, Ariel Long, Matt (Sarah) Long, and Leah Rogers; 4 grandchildren, Michael, Grace, Nicholas, and Henry; siblings, Nancy (Tom) Wentz and Dave (Marilyn) Long; and several nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, Steve was preceded in death by his brother-in-law, Stephen D. Fisher; and sister-in-law, Pam Long.
