Obituary for ROSS LAMARTINE "SHORTY" LONG
Ross Windell Lamartine Long, born to the late John & Pearline Long departed this life on Monday, May 29, 2017.
Ross, affectionately known as "Shorty" to all, began his life's journey in the rural community of Calvert County. Born into humble beginnings, it was at an early age that the principle of hard work was instilled within him. Shorty was educated in the Calvert County Public School system. Not long thereafter, he became gainfully employed with local businesses throughout the county to provide for his flourishing family. In many instances Shorty was often self-employed due to his persistence to ensure that his family was adequately taken care of. God gives a plethora of gifts and talents to his children. Without dispute, Shorty was indeed blessed with an array of talents within the construction industry.
The family is the epicenter of love, strength, and support. Shorty, being the youngest within his family had a firm support system. Nonetheless, Shorty was that "rock" within the family that you cold consistently depend on.
His brothers Robert & James along with his sainted parents preceded him in death. He leaves to cherish his memory a devoted partner and friend, Juanita Jones; 4 children, Amanda, Erica, Rachel, Wendell; grandchild, Malachi Wren; 4 siblings; John (Jeanette), Deborah Ann (Robert deceased), Lucinda (Maurice), and Jeffrie (Sharon). In addition, a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends remain to cherish and preserve his legacy.
