CAMERON—Alan Carson Love, 86, of Cameron died Saturday, April 22, 2023, at his home.

A memorial service will be held at Marek-Burns-Laywell Funeral Home in Cameron officiated by Rev. Charles Wyatt at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 6, with visitation from 9 to 11 a.m. Burial will follow at Fairfield Cemetery.

Mr. Love was born April 2, 1937, in Dallas, to Alan Cavitt Love and Lina Rose (Carson) Love.

He lied to us all; he routinely assured us he would live past 100.

Mr. Love graduated from Schreiner Institute in Kerrville in 1955.

He entered the U.S. Air Force, served honorably for four years in the Air Force Band, and was discharged in October 1959.

Mr. Love entered Texas A&M in 1960, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in English in 1964. In 1966, he graduated from Texas A&M with a Master of Arts in English.

He taught English at San Antonio College through 2005, retiring as a Professor Emeritus after 39 years.

But his real love was engineering better ways to do things, including building his own Class A motorhome.

He was a man of varied interests and passions.

An accomplished musician, Mr. Love played nearly all brass instruments and the upright string bass.

Antique cars—especially the full line of 1946 Mercuries— were his reason for getting up in the morning. Giving tours of his shop and sharing his plans for it was one of his favorite things.

He enjoyed collecting Depression glass and had obtained all the Eastlake Victorian furniture appropriate for his Victorian home in Cameron long before he and Jean were able to purchase the home in 2007.

Mr. Love was a master trip planner, composing Amtrak “Grand Tours” and annual trips to the Hershey, Pennsylvania, antique car part swap meet.

He was a proud descendant of David Hall Love, who served in the battle of San Jacinto under Sam Houston.

Survivors are his wife of 28 years, Jean Schara; two daughters, Rober ta Ellen (Andy) Brockman of Lewisville and Alyne Love of Austin; two granddaughters, Ashley (Daniel) Rohovit and Katy (Ashton) Nowicki; and two great-granddaughters, Brayley Love Nowicki and Taytum Nikole Nowicki.
