Miami Heat's Kevin Love Makes Tragic Announcement

Miami Heat veteran Kevin Love took to social media to share some tragic news, announcing that his father died at age 76.

Stan Love was a former NBA first-round pick and the younger brother of Beach Boys singer Mike Love. Kevin Love, who had been away from the Heat, shared that his father had been suffering a difficult stretch for the past six months but did not share details of exactly how or when he died.

“Dad, you fought for a long time,” Kevin Love shared in a post on Instagram. “The hardest stretch being these past 6 months. The most painful to witness being these last few weeks. And even at the end as you continued to deteriorate – I still saw you as a Giant. My Protector. My first Hero.”

Kevin Love added that his father was surrounded by family when he passed away. The longtime NBA veteran shared that he and his father were not always on the best terms, but said they came to find peace with each other.

“This may be my Dad’s greatest gift,” Love wrote. “Teaching me that healing happens in your soul and that healing is there for the taking, even in the face of imminent death. Dad loved his family unconditionally and left his children with one of life’s great lessons.”

Love moved into a reserve role with the Heat over the last few seasons. He appeared in 23 games for Miami this season, averaging a career-low 5.3 points in 10.9 minutes per game.
