Dwight Ernest Love, age 76, of Tuscumbia, passed away on Thursday, January 16, 2025, at Helen Keller Hospital
Dwight proudly served his country in the U.S. Army. He retired from Reynolds & Wise Aluminum. He was his boys’ hero, and they strive to be half the man he was. If you knew him, you know he was a man of God always spreading the word. He was a pastor at Charity Chapel, a husband of 53 years, a good daddy, and an awesome pawpaw. He loved his wife, his family, and most of all, he loved his Lord. His family finds comfort in knowing that he is in heaven and now knows with absolute clarity what we sing about, pray for, and vaguely understand. Such a loss for his family and friends, but we know there is rejoicing in Heaven. Until we meet again, we love you.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Clyde and Anna Lois (Williamson) Love; brothers, John Love, Joe Love; mother-in-law, Rachel Harrison; in-laws, Dale Shook, Robert Shook, Naomi Creasy, and Twana Kilpatrick.
He leaves to cherish his memories, his wife of 53 years, Susan Love; sons, Chris Love, Michael Love; grandchildren, Mikey Love, Sammy Love, Megan Ireland; grandson of the heart, Aiden Stone; special mother of his grandchildren, Rebekah Quaintance; sister, Arlene Sutton (Raymond); sister-in-law, Jean Love; in-laws, Kenneth and T.J. Lindsey, John and Mattie Lee Kalmbach; special uncle, Joe Lindsey (Barbara); a host of nieces, nephews, and friends.
