On Sunday, September 21, 2025, Robert R. Love passed away peacefully at home with his loved ones by his side. He was 86. Robert grew up in Chicago, Illinois, but made Colorado Springs his home for more than 50 years. His Chicago family called him "Sonny," and in the military, he was known as "Top." Most of all, he treasured being called Dad and Grandpa. He was a wonderful father and will be deeply missed.
Robert R. Love proudly served in the United States Army for more than 30 years and retired as SGM in 1986. His distinguished military service took him to places such as Vietnam, Korea, Germany, and numerous states across the country. After leaving the Army, he continued to serve his community at COMCOR in Colorado Springs. He was known for his kindness, compassion, and the inspiration he gave to those around him, leaving a lasting impression on colleagues and friends.
During retirement, Robert enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He liked watching sports, playing pinochle, and traveling.
Robert's legacy lives on through his family: two daughters, Jeannette Love and Angela Lopez; three grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; two sisters; one brother; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
His legacy of love, kindness, and generosity will live on in all who knew him.
A Memorial Service to honor Robert's life will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2025, at 10am at Dove Witt Family Mortuary, 6630 S US HWY 85/87, Fountain, CO 80817. A Committal Ceremony with Military Honors will follow at 12pm at Pikes Peak National Cemetery, 10545 Drennan Road, Colorado Springs, CO 80925.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Robert's memory to support the Colorado Springs Rescue Mission.

So sorry to hear this news. I had the opportunity to work with Robert at ComCor. He sure knew how to make some ribs and Bar-B-Q sauce for the company picnics. I think we will all remember him for his cooking talents! He was a very good, kind man, going to miss him!!
