David Bennett Longley, 83, of Chattanooga, passed away on Tuesday, November 12, 2024.

He was a beloved teacher and coach for 10 years at Baylor School. He then made his mark in the business world as an insurance salesman, financial advisor and part owner of Judgment Index.

However, most importantly, David loved spending time with family and friends laughing and enjoying life. He will surely be missed by all who knew and loved him.

David was preceded in death by his daughter, Karen, and his parents, Millard Bennett Longley and Mattie Smith Longley.

Survivors include his wife of 61 years, Linda Varner Longley; daughter, Susan Longley; brothers, Steve (Angela) Longley and Mark (Mardi) Longley; several nieces, nephews, and extended family.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude Children's Hospital.

A memorial service will be held at 12 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 16, at Baylor School with Dr. Steve Byrum officiating.
