He’s no longer in pain,” Smith continues. “He’s no longer dealing with the complications that he had to deal with.”

However, he never publicly disclosed the nature of his illness. Bishop Long’s daughter took to Instagram to confirm the shocking death with an emotional post about her late dad.
She wrote, “I love you Dad. Thank you for being perfect. I cherish every moment i’ve shared w/ you even up to your last breath. I don’t blame God for wanting you back, i would too. everything i do is for you, it’s been my honor to be your daughter. thank you for being the greatest example of a wonderful father & husband. You kicked cancers ass! Job Well Done my angel.”
Bishop Eddie Long’s homegoing services will be held at 11 a.m. on January 25th at his New Birth Missionary Baptist Church.
