Max Long Jr., long-time Jacksonville resident,
went home to be with the Lord on April 9 after a lengthy illness at the age
of 77. He was preceded in death by his parents Max Long Sr. and Elizabeth.

scholarship, went on to FSU where he held numerous pitching records. Max
married his high school sweetheart Ferrell DeWitt and together they raised

were the joy of his life. Max was well-respected in the community,
beginning his career at Prudential. He was marketing Director of the

Club. He is survived by his loving partner of 55 years Ferrell; sons, Brad
(Cathy) and Kevin Long; a daughter, Beth Long Rausch (Mike); grandchildren,
Brooke, Bradley Jr., Megan (Barry), Molly (Jeff), Morgan, Madison, Emma,
Abby; great-granddaughter, Norah; two brothers, Pierce (Benny) and Wayne
