William (Bill) Paul Long
Bill Long, age 79, a resident of Chillicothe, Missouri, passed away on Sunday, August 16, 2020, at North Kansas City Hospital, North Kansas City, Missouri.
Bill was born the son of Paul and Merle (Devereaux) Long on July 30, 1941, in Lenox, Iowa. He was a 1958 graduate of Lenox High School. He proudly served in the United States Navy. Bill was united in marriage to Bonnie Coon on April 5th 1970 in Camdenton, Mo. She survives of the home.
He worked as a self-employed marketing representative in Chillicothe for over 50 years. He was a member of Lifepoint Church, Chillicothe, Missouri, where he was very active within the church and involved in prison ministry for 26 years. There are many ways to describe who Bill was, but in the shortest terms, Bill loved people and was dedicated to reaching as many people for Jesus as he could. Bill truly was a harvester of Souls for the Kingdom of God. Bill travelled all over the world and impacted the lives of countless people and will be dearly missed.
