David Long

David Johnston Long, 56, of Spartanburg, SC died October 17, 2020 at his home. Born in Manchester, NH on November 15, 1963, he was the son of the late Ernest Johnston Long and the late Catherine Cooksey Long of Rutherfordton, NC and Gaffney, SC. As a child growing up in Rutherfordton, NC, David loved playing golf and scored a rare double eagle at Cleghorn Golf Course while on the high school golf team. This led him to play on his college golf team at Coastal Carolina where he earned a degree in Business. Much of his career was spent in sales and recently moved into the insurance business. Heavily involved in Boy Scouts as a child, he went on to be a Scout Master to many Scouts in Spartanburg. David's outgoing nature and engaging sense of humor made him many friends whether he was living in Rutherfordton, NC, Flat Rock, NC, Sullivan's Island, SC, or Spartanburg.
