Johnny Long

John Riley Long John Riley “Johnny” Long, 79, of Haleyville, Alabama, a devoted servant of others, passed away peacefully on December 13, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of faith, compassion, and selfless service. Johnny was born in Haleyville, Alabama, on August 15, 1946. He began his career in the mobile home industry and, in 1982, co-founded Southern Energy Homes with a group of friends. Johnny enjoyed a successful career, playing an integral role in the company’s early development and growth, and earning the respect of colleagues through his dedication, integrity, and hands-on approach. After retiring from Southern Energy Homes in 1997, Johnny immediately devoted his time to helping others in the Haleyville community, leaving a lasting impact on those around him. Having faced cancer with remarkable strength and gratitude, Johnny turned his personal journey into a mission to help others. He was deeply committed to raising awareness and funds for the fight against cancer, most notably through his tireless work with Relay for Life, where his passion and leadership helped raise vital support for countless families. His heart for service extended far beyond one cause. Through Swamp John dinners, Johnny worked diligently to raise money for mission efforts, believing strongly in helping those in need both near and far. He also dedicated countless hours to First Baptist Church’s Harvest of Hope, where his efforts helped feed thousands of individuals and families around the Haleyville area, ensuring no one went without a meal or a sense of dignity. Johnny lived his faith through action. He never sought recognition, only opportunities to serve. Those who knew him will remember his steady presence, generous spirit, and the way he made everyone feel valued and welcome. He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Angie, by his children Susanne (Ralph) Trallo and Paige (Ben) Hooker and by his siblings Kieth (Brenda) Rowe, Patsy (Bobby) Sutherland, Mary Jane Rowe, and Lisa Tucker. He leaves behind five grandchildren; John (Ashton) Hooker, Caroline Hooker, Callie Hooker, Riley Trallo, and Payden Trallo. He was preceded in death by his parents, Homer Eugene Long and Mattie Lou Harbin Rowe, and his siblings Rex Long, Lonnie Long, and Allen Rowe. Though he will be deeply missed, his life stands as a powerful example of what it means to love others well. His legacy will continue through the lives he touched, the meals he served, and the hope he shared so freely. His visitation will be Friday, December 19, 2025 at the First Baptist Church in Haleyville, AL. from 12:00 noon -2:00 p.m., with his funeral at 2:00 p.m. at the church, with Bro. Jim Cooley and Bro.
