Ray Allen Long, a cherished soul known for his loving and kind nature, passed away peacefully on June 17, 2025, in Mulberry, Florida. Born on February 2, 1954, in Plant City, Florida, Ray's early years were filled with the warmth of the Florida sun and the loving guidance of his late parents, Buster Long and Murel Jones, as well as his devoted step-dad, Billie Jones.
Ray's life was a testament to the strength of family bonds and the joy of simple pleasures.

His work was not just a job but a reflection of his commitment to supporting his family and serving his community.

Ray's involvement in various associations showcased his desire to connect with others and contribute to the collective good. He was a familiar face at community events, always ready to pitch in or share a friendly conversation. His presence was a source of comfort and camaraderie to all who knew him.
Those who had the privilege of knowing Ray will recall a man who lived his life with an open heart. He was the embodiment of love and kindness, touching the lives of many with his gentle spirit and generous nature. Ray's laughter was infectious, his advice was sought after, and his ability to make others feel valued will be deeply missed.
