John William Love. Sr, son of the late William Allen
Love and Alma Lee Saunders, was born June 12, 1933
in Baltimore, Maryland. He departed this life on
March 27, 2018.

He spent most of his professional life helping others as
a law enforcement officer and security manager. John
is mostly recalled for being a family man. His
daughter, Kim, remembers a trip to Fort Smallwood
Beach years ago and "because I was too little to ride
on an inner tube, Dad rode me around on his back in

the water."

John devoted much of his later years to the teachings
of the Lord. He joined the New Beginnings Ministries
Church of Jesus Christ where he was baptized by his
son Terry Sr. He remained a faithful member for ten
years and was on trial for Deacon before his health

declined. His daughter, Linda, can recall Sunday school
classes and how attentive he was "soaking up the
Word of God like sponge, he was so eager to taste
and see."

He leaves to mourn: his three sons, Terry Love Sr. and
his wife Kathy, John Love Jr. and his wife Nancy,
Christopher Love and his wife Angela; his six
daughters, Patricia Simmons, Pamela Love and her
wife Aldreece Griffin-Love, Kim Bivens and her
husband Raymond, Linda Pinckney, Stephanie Anne,
Sara Dashield and her husband Julian, and Renee; 13
grandchildren; 25 great-grandchildren; and two great-
great-grandchildren along with a host of other

relatives and friends. Viewing Joseph H. Brown Jr. Funeral Home Tuesday, April 03, 2018 04:30 PM - 08:00 PM Email Details 2140 N. Fulton Ave
