Randy David Long, 72, of Mountain View, passed away on Friday December 26, 2025, at his
home. He was born October 6, 1953, in Batesville, Arkansas, to Harmon Hayden and Jewell
(Pogue) Long.
He married Brinda Stewart in 1973 and they enjoyed fifty-two years of marriage together. They
had three children; Holly, Matt, and Rusty.
He was a 1972 graduate of Mountain View High School and received a Bachelor of theology
degree from Andersonville Baptist Seminary in 1995.

been a member of Elizabeth Missionary Baptist Church for the past 52 years. He loved the Lord
and surrendered to preach in early 1981, was ordained shortly after, and has been the pastor of
Elizabeth Missionary Baptist Church for the past 44 years.
Randy spent most of his years farming chickens and cattle. He was a member of the Mountain
View Volunteer Fire Department for 25 years. Coaching his boys' T-Ball, Peewee, and Little

God's creation while hunting, fishing, and camping. Later in life, he restored a 1971 Mach 1
Mustang to be identical to the first car he had when he was 16. He took a lot of joy in hunting,
