Scott E. Long passed away in Lexington, SC on September 24, 2021 at the age of 65.
Scott battled Alzheimer's for several years but remained a dedicated, happy and fun-loving father and grandfather enjoying time with family in his home until his last weeks here on earth.
Scott's love of sports, basketball specifically, and this great country was second only to his love for his family. His faith in God was strong until the very end.
Scott received his bachelor's degree in Education from Louisiana Tech University in 1981. He spent more than 20 years coaching basketball and teaching American History. Voted Coach of the Year by the SC Basketball Association in 2001, he took numerous teams to championship victories throughout his career. He also cherished watching his own children excel in sports, sometimes coaching them in an official capacity, but always in an unofficial position from the stands.
Scott is survived by his wife, Lori Long; his children, Casey Long (Emily), Austin Long, Michaela Long and Joseph Long; Granddaughter, Louise Anne Long; sister, Jo Kathryn Long Quinn (Eric); brother, Stuart Long (Grace); and several nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his father, Emmett Lucian Long, and his mother, Bettye Elaine Roan Long.
