Richmond, CA - Christopher Kenneth Long, 72, of Richmond, California passed away peacefully at home on October 16, 2021.

Christopher was born in Mishawaka, Indiana to Jane Stowell Long and Dr. Albourne Long. He was preceded in death by his parents, Jane and Al, and by his brother, Brian Long. He is survived by his loving wife Kathy Long; devoted brother Gregory Long; children Rachel (Matt) Hanson, Sarah (Mark) Wetzstein, Ethan Long, Joshua (Katherine) Long, Jordan (Ann) Gilbert, Marina (Peter) Lucchesi; and grandchildren Laine, Emma, Nathaniel, Mason, Caden, Ryan, Hannah, and Ava.

Chris grew up in South Bend, Indiana and moved to California in 1973, where he remained until his passing. Chris was most at home in the outdoors where he often used his talents as a photographer to capture nature's beauty. Music, a mug of strong coffee, and his grandchildren were sources of joy for Chris. Chris had a compassionate heart and always rooted for the underdog. He was a champion of workers' rights and helped many through his work with the Department Store Employees Union Local 1100.
