Stan Love, a former NBA player and member of a creative Southern California family linked to pop music, passed away at 76. Known for his time with the Lakers and the Beach Boys, Love became an essential support for his cousin Brian Wilson during tumultuous years in the late 70s and early 80s. After his basketball career, he settled in Oregon, remaining close to his family. His son, Kevin Love, announced his passing, sharing heartfelt memories of Love's struggles and love for family in his last days.
"It was 24 hours a day of worrying, trying to keep the creeps away. Fame and money in rock-and-roll - it's all a very dangerous area to live in."
"Dad, you fought for a long time. The hardest stretch being these past 6 months. The most painful to witness being these last few weeks."
