Obituary:
Sterling “Snuffy” Long, Sr. – 69 years old. Passed away at his home on March 11, 2012, surrounded by his devoted daughter Markietta, son-in-law Joe, goddaughter Glory (Doodle Bug), adored grandsons Rudy and Joey, son Sterling Jr., nieces Debbie, Marilyn, Regina, Nevah, great nephews Baby Isaac and Jimmy, brother Lonnie and aunt Donna.
Snuffy was a retired truck driver. He drove for numerous companies, mainly logging. He enjoyed driving truck, heading to the woods really early. He met so many people, friends while driving truck. He was very devastated when he had to stop due to health issues. He would always say how he wished he could still drive a truck. It really saddened him that he no longer could. But he’d snap out of it and begin to tell his stories, going way, way back. There were a lot of them. We’ll all miss those, but never forget them.
This man was truly a “Teddy Bear”. He loved his children, family and friends, especially his grandsons, Joey and Rudy and his goddaughter Glory.
He is survived by his daughter Markietta, son-in-law Joe, sons Sterling Jr. and Nena, Lee, grandsons Rudy and Joey, granddaughters Carlee and Lia, brothers Kenny, Lonnie and Donna, Sonny and Arlon and numerous nephews, nieces, cousins and close friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents Loren and Evelyn Long, his daughter Vicki Lee Long, his favorite Unkie Offerrall and his aunt Edna.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, March 17, 2012 at 1 p.m. at Eversole Mortuary. Visitation will be on Friday, March 16, 2012 from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the mortuary.

RIP – “Dad”, friend, uncle, grandpa and cousin.
