Daniel Winston Love was born on January 21, 1951. He was the middle child and only son of Dr. William C. (Bill) Love and Louise Winston Love. His parents, grandparents Robert D. Love and Farrel Love, George Winston and Elizabeth "Grandma Lizzie" Winston, older sister Gloria C. Love Holmes (Robert-deceased), Brothers in Love Walter R. "Bobby" Ware and Leon Nolden Jr., preceded him in death. As a child, Danny loved sports and played on an elementary school baseball team. Danny also played football in high school and at Columbia State Community College. Danny became interested in go-carts, especially after he and his Dad built one for him. From there his interest in fixing cars grew while watching and helping his Dad work on the family cars. As a young man in his early 20's in Nashville, Danny worked as a mechanic at Mr. Garrett's Auto Repair shop on 28th St. He never lost interest in tinkering and "piddling" with all kinds of vehicles and lawn equipment. If it had a motor in it, he could most likely fix it! At 16, Danny professed his desire to join the Baha'i Faith, remaining a beloved member until his passing. He enjoyed singing tenor in the Tennessee Baha'i Choir. He and his sister Laura took a bus trip with the choir to perform at the Baha'i House of Worship in Wilmette IL. While living in Michigan, Danny along with his family frequented the local drive-in movie theater....this is where he and his siblings developed their love of movies, especially Sci-fi and Action. After "courting" for 2 years, Danny married Rosemary Nolden on November 29, 2002. Danny and Rosemary had many shared interests including bowling, playing Bid Whist, MUSIC, movies and riding their "Big Blue" trike motorcycle. Danny fit right in Rosemary's large family which gave him 4 brothers in love, aunts, uncles and LOTS of cousins. Their blended family included 3 daughters, 1 son, 10 grandchildren and 1 great granddaughter. "PawPaw" will be greatly missed. He is survived by his devoted wife Rosemary, daughters Ava Love, Ahdeenaw (Calvin) Jordan, and Rosetta Holte, son James Spencer III (Gwen), sister Laura Love Ware, Brothers in love Charles (Jeanette) Nolden, Marvin (Wanda) Nolden, Timothy Nolden, grandchildren Daniel Winston(D') Love, Brian Love, Devonte Grigsby, Anya, Abrielle and Arianna Jordan, James Spencer IV, Kayla Anderson and great granddaughter Khloe Love, Nieces April (David) Whitfield, Kristeen Holmes, cousins Claudia Stewart, Khalil Stewart, Robert Allen Love, Elizabeth Love (Cam) Herth, Molli, William and Lauris Herth, "special Mama" Sue Whitfield, life-long friend and Bid-Whist partner M.C.
