"David "Coach" Long is missed so much already. As a parent of a child he taught and coached by him, I want to say thank you for the dedication he gave to not only his family but the countless of others he taught and coached through the years. To those still here we will remember the great stories and wonderful memories! Prayers to the family, coworkers, students and friends."

"So many memories of Mr. Long at GHS. A great teacher, coach - even better friend. We'll miss you, buddy!"

"its so bittersweet to have watched David go from high school student to a man I truly enjoyed being able to call a teaching peer. He was always the first person to get the kids motivated for some pretty daunting learning task. He was a great friend. I have never laughed as hard as I laughed when he was "up to something". One day I couldn't get anyone to pay attention to s lecture, they were distracted by something in the window of my door - D.Long- to be exact. I opened the door and he grinned that famous grin and very quietly said- oh sorry, did I interrupt? (He needed some copy paper and my room was closest to the copy room- he was out of time and need a few more copies before the next class). The next day there was a candy bar, smiley face note and a sorry written on it! He knew, he just knew how to be your forever friend. I will miss him, he was a fine young man."

"My prayers are with David's family......he was such a great guy.....I remember meeting them when his dad was the owner/manager at Luby's here in Greenville.....such a loving, caring family......David will be missed...."
