ROBERT JAMES "JIMMY" LONG

May 15, 1946 - October 01, 2018

U.S. Veteran

  Franklin - Robert James “Jimmy” Long, 72, passed away peacefully in his home on 
October 1, 2018.  He had fought a long hard battle with cancer until he was 
called home.  Jimmy was born May, 15, 1946, in High Point, NC, to the late Albert 
Leon Long and Lucille Irwin Long.  He was raised in Franklin by his maternal 
grandparents, James and Beattie Irwin.  He retired from the City of Franklin in 
2012, after 17 years in the Public Works Department as a mechanic.  He was a hard 
working self-made man.  He spent his life working on cars and helping others.

  Left to cherish his memory is his wife of 50 years, Sarah Fowler Long; his only 
daughter, Shannon Long (John Stuck); his only grandson, Michael Justus; his 
brother Jerry Long of Stuart, FL; his cousin Tony Irwin; his aunt Edith Irwin of 
Thomasville, NC; his Kingsdale community; and many other friends.

  Jimmy’s family is grateful for the care he received from Heartland Hospice.  
His nurse Melanie Marshall handled everything for him with love and care.  Thanks 
also to Shawna and Monchelle from Comfort Keepers for taking care of Jimmy up 
until his last moments in this world.

  Visitation will be Wednesday, October 3, 2018 from 6-8 PM in Wright Funeral 
Home.  Funeral Services will be held at 2:00 PM Thursday, October 4 at the 
funeral home with Mr. Drew Dunn officiating.  Burial will follow at Southampton 
Memorial Park.  The family will receive friends in their home in Kingsdale 
following the funeral service and requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be 
made to the American Cancer Society in Jimmy’s name.
