Who Was Orbin Love? Meet Jordan Love’s Father

Before his suicide in 2013, Orbin Love had a clear vision for his son’s future. Seven years later — as one of top QB prospects in the 2020 draft — @USUFootball’s Jordan Love is fulfilling it.https://t.co/facuvTOg9m pic.twitter.com/Wt69tJtNzC

As a dedicated police officer to his Bakersfield community, everyone was shocked and saddened by his suicide. However, the real reason behind his actions is not known to the public even today.
Orbin was a high school quarterback himself and had hoped Jordan to follow the same path despite Jordan’s physical capabilities suitable for other sports.
The late Orbin has been described as a dotted father who never cursed, smoked, drank, and used drugs, per NFL.
What Happened To Him?
Orbin Love did not reveal any reason and took his own life on July 13, 2013, when his aspiring son was just 14 years old.
Some say that he took his life with his service weapon, while some argue that he died due to a medication overdose.
However, the Love family has not disclosed any further details into the appalling incident.
It seems the reason behind Orbin’s suicide will remain a mystery forever as there was no way for a responsible family man to take his own life.
Instead, Jordan fulfilled his wish by debuting on NFL while the other family members supported him in any way by fulfilling the late Orbin’s wishes.
Meet the Love Family
Orbin Love’s beloved family includes his wife, Anna Love, and his four children; Kami, Emily, Jordan, and Alexis.
Jordan is the only son of the family and is reported to be loved heartedly by his mother and sisters.
His mother has never missed his games since he started playing in high school.
Jordan was an impressive quarterback for Utah State University, for which he was able to get noticed by the NFL drafters in the first round last year.
Today’s debut match was attended by his mother and his girlfriend, Ronika Stone, who has gained media attention for being seated at last seats at the Arrowhead Stadium.
