Andru M. Long, 24 of Conway died on February 11th, 2022 at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA. He is survived by his mother Elizabeth H. Long of Conway, his stepfather, Japheth Johnson of Conway, his grandfather Wayne N. Stevens of Conway, his step grandparents, Daniel and Wanda Johnson of Myrtle Beach, two brothers Jaylyn Johnson and Logan Long (Briana) both of Conway, a sister Kaitlyn Gossett of Spartanburg, SC, one aunt Windy King (Dustin) of Conway, one uncle Justin Stevens (Chris) of Conway, and many loving cousins and friends. He is predeceased by two grandmothers Geneva F. Long and Margie A. Stevens.

Those who knew Andru will forever remember his charismatic, outgoing personality, his determination to live life unapologetically on his terms, and his big, empathetic heart that desired to help everyone around him. He was bright, artistic, loved to sing and dance, and spend time with the people that he loved. He was an extraordinary human and an amazing son, brother, and friend.

Outwardly Andru was a bright shining light to all who knew him, but inside he struggled with deep depression and feelings of not being fully accepted. Sadly he chose to take his own life, leaving those that loved him with unimaginable grief and unanswered questions. There is an estimated 48,000 suicidal deaths and 1.5 million suicide attempts annually in the U.S. alone. If someone you know is showing signs of depression or emotional distress, please reach out, don't hesitate. Stepping in can save a life.
