Timothy L. Long passed away at home April
22, 2022, following a short intense battle with Melanoma. Tim was born June 21, 1951, at Winner, SD.
He joined the family as the second child of
Bobby (Robert, Jr.) and Gayle Long.
Eight more siblings joined them and made for an active family life
growing up in Witten, SD. Following
graduation in 1969 from Witten High School Tim worked on the farm/ranch with
his Aunt and Uncle Bonnie and Ronnie Horstman.
He married Pam Gerard on June 2, 1970. Tim and Pam lived on the Horstman ranch when their first son Derek was born. Tim enlisted in the SD National Guard in 1970. They later moved to the Gerard home spread south of Kennebec where Pam had grown up.
Second son Christopher joined the family in 1975. Later the family moved into Kennebec as Tim began work for Gene and Margie Halvorson at Halvorson Oil. Tim went to work with the Lyman County Highway Department in the early 90’s and later served as highway superintendent until his retirement.
Tim was a very patriotic American and
retired from the military after 38 years of honorable service to the State and
Nation. He took part in numerous state and federal missions, most notably a
year-long tour to Iraq in 2004, before retiring at the rank of first sergeant.
Tim loved being with and encouraging his
grandchildren in sports and hunting and took every opportunity to cheer them on
in their efforts in any activity. Tim
enjoyed hunting and golfing and in his retirement enjoyed working for Ryan
Larson during the combining season as well as summer work for the Lyman County
Highway Department.
Tim was preceded in death by his
Grandparents Robert Sr. and Sylvia Long, Paul and Rosalyn Jordan; his parents,
Robert Jr. and Gayle Jordan Long and siblings Kevin and Jody Long.
