Kenneth Eugene Long, II, age 46 departed this life Monday, June 15, 2026, at Tidal Health Hospital in Salisbury, Maryland. He was the son of Kenneth Long, I of Salisbury and Margo Morris of Hebron. “Ken Ken”, as he was affectionately known, was born August 8, 1979, in Baltimore, Maryland.

Kenny's formative years were here in the local area. He was a 1997 Graduate of Wicomico Senior High School in Salisbury. He continued his education at Wor Wic Community College in Salisbury. During this tenure, he found employment with Genesis Nursing Home working in food service. His religious foundation was mostly initiated with his first babysitter, "mom mom." Kenny attended Sunday School occasionally with his grandmother, Evangelist Savanna Morris, at the former “Calvary Temple Church” in Salisbury.

He was an avid sports lover. His favorite football team was the Eagles. He inherited his love of baseball from his grandfather, Merrill Morris. However, Kenny loved the New York Yankees. Finally, he began idolizing LeBron James on the basketball court. Oh, the number of bets he made supporting his teams. Kellen Palmer also lost a lot of his money following Kenny’s bets.

Kenny was known for his "GQ" attire. Whenever he stepped out to any occasion, he had to make sure his hair, outfits, and vehicle were in top notch condition. He had a voice which would dominate any and most conversations.
