We are sad to announce the passing of John Henry Long. He passed away on Monday, October 31 of a heart attack at the age of 61 doing what he loved most - being in the woods hunting.

John was a cancer survivor, having battled and won 12 years ago. John recently celebrated his 40th wedding anniversary with his wife, Barbara, by taking a trip to Montana and Banff Canada. John is also survived by his daughters Kristen and Kaitlin, whom he loved dearly and was incredibly proud of. He was a doting grandfather to twins Audrey and Alexander and honored father-in-law to Andrew and David.

John will be remembered for his 30-year military service, his passion for honest and hard work, and his genuine love and care for others. We love you and miss you already.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 12 at Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home (305 Sixth St, Traverse City, MI 49684) with visitation from 2pm and a memorial service from 3pm to honor and remember his incredible life.

The service will be live streamed for those who are unable to attend at rjfh.tv.

In lieu of flowers, we kindly ask for donations to be made to the Munson Medical Center Cancer Center or the Coast Guard Foundation in the name of AMTCM John Henry Long.

Kindly share thoughts and memories with his family at www.reynolds-jonkhoff.com .
