here wasn't anything better than wearing the nametag, "Grandpa/Papa" as Boyd welcomed his grandchildren: Colton, Delaney, Cambrey, Wiley, and Maverick. A man who has been consistently described and respected as hard working and loving. He enjoyed his career and took the time to mentor others and valued the ownership in completing tasks. His family will miss his excitement for the outdoors and all the stories told of a lifetime of hunting and camping experiences with friends and family. He is survived by: his loving wife, LaJuan of the home; children: son, Jeremy Long and wife, Katrina; son, Randall Long and wife, Jacklynn and daughter, Ashley Gibson and husband, David; his five grandchildren; sister, Joyce Carmichael and husband, Don and brother Loyd Long and wife, Janet; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by: his parents and sister, Judy Owens Carroll. A Memorial Service to celebrate the life of Boyd Long will be 4:00 p.m. Friday, July 12, 2019 at RiverCrest Chapel in Bixby, Oklahoma.
