Gerald Long Obituary
We are sad to announce that on December 6, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Gerald Long of Paducah, Kentucky, born in Livingston, Kentucky. Family and friends can send flowers and/or light a candle as a loving gesture for their loved one. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Gerald Long to show support.
Though Gerald may no longer walk beside us, his memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those Gerald touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In his absence, his spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.
