Joshua Aaron Long

Joshua “Josh” Aaron Long, 42, of Dayton, Texas, went to be with the Lord on Sunday morning, June 11, 2023. He passed away in Kingwood Hospital while lovingly surrounded by his family. Born in Humble, TX, on September 19, 1980, Josh was the only child of Angela Carrell Long and Robert Long.

Josh enjoyed spending time outdoors: kayaking, fishing, hunting, camping, riding 4-wheelers, going to racetracks and off-road parks, working on cars, and hanging out at the beach. He loved going to Texas country music concerts with his Mom and family. Josh was a team member of, “In It, To Win It”, a tournament pool team in Dayton. Mostly, Josh loved spending time with his family and special friends. Josh had a beautiful smile and an amazing “gift of gab”. Conversations with Josh were always interesting, entertaining and humorous.

Josh was currently working as a Crane Mechanic at Groves Industrial. Prior to that he worked at StandardAero as well as General Electric.

Josh will be dearly missed by his loving wife, TaLisa Hughes Long and their four children: Robbie Hennis, Serena Hughes (Fiance, Kyle Key), Joshua Long II, Ava Long, and Elaina Hennis, his granddaughter. Josh was the best Husband, Dad and “Pops” we could have ever asked for.
