Donald F. Love, age 90, passed away peacefully on February 1, 2020. Don lived in Colorado Springs off and on for 60 years. He retired CMSGT from the Air Force in 1974 and worked for a number of years at Dan’s Auto.

He was born October 14, 1929 to John and Mary Evelyn Love in Salem, Kentucky. His family moved to Colorado early in his life. He attended Boulder High School where he was a basketball star and from there, he joined the Air Force along with his surviving brother Charles P. Love, age 91 (Mary Elizabeth Love), San Antonio, TX.
Don was preceded in death by Donna Stone, the mother of his 4 loving children, Linda Love (Mike Williams) of Maui, HI, Janice Love (Jim Killian) of Arvada, CO, Diana Love (Chuck Mardosz) of Colorado Springs and Robert Love (Rachel Paul) of Colorado Springs. Don had 12 grandchildren (Kevin, Ryan, Leigh, Lana, Megan, Jason, Chrissy, Lisa, Robbie, Kyle, Cameron and Zackery) and 5 great grandchildren. He is also survived by his ex-wives, Imogene Hill, Karnak, IL and Mary Love, his good friend in Colorado Springs.
