March 25, 1970 - January 1, 2021

Courtland “Court” Ira Lee Longsworth, 1 January 2021, aged 50, of Overland, MO, passed away suddenly, and peacefully at home from the effects of heart disease. A man of fast to make friends and to help others, he was a self-taught guitarist, eager learner, enthusiastic singer, friendly delivery driver, and a proud employee of the now-defunct TWA. He was a talkative soul with the kind of quiet cleverness that led him to learn new things, including picking up the guitar after having been inspired by one of his uncles who played in Philadelphia. Born March 25, 1970 in Philadelphia, PA, he was the second child of, Lloyd Alfred Llewellyn Usher Longsworth II (1943 – 1999), and Sung Cha “Sandy” Longsworth (nee Lee), still living. His father, Lloyd A. L. U. Longsworth II, was born in Belize City, British Honduras (now Belize) in 1943 and emigrated to Philadelphia PA in 1956 with his parents, Lloyd Alfred Llewellyn Longsworth (1920 – 1996), and Constance Louise Longsworth (nee Usher) (1923 – 2005) and two brothers, Brian Brett Longsworth (1947 – 2013) and Ian George Longsworth (1953 – 2007). Court’s mother, Sung Cha “Sandy” Longsworth (nee Lee) of Overland, MO was born in Seoul, Korea (now South Korea) in 1943, and emigrated to the U.S. in 1968 after marrying Lloyd II and giving birth to Court’s elder brother, Lloyd. Younger brother to Lloyd A. L. Longsworth III of Overland, MO, and older brother to Kristina M. Longsworth of Nashville, TN. Uncle to Liam M. P. H. Longsworth, and brother-in-law to Mary Lynn E.
