Former Lakers forward Stan Love, the father of NBA star Kevin Love and brother of Beach Boys singer Mike Love, has died, according to his son. He was 76.

Stan Love, who played four seasons in the NBA but may be better known as the father of Kevin Love, has died at the age of 76. Kevin announced the passing Sunday on Instagram: "The best last lesson one generation can teach the next: how to die with peace about how you've lived.

Miami Heat forward Kevin Love penned a thoughtful tribute after the death of his father Stan. After Love, 36, missed the Heat's playoff loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday for "personal reasons," he shared a lengthy post on social media in honor of his dad on Sunday, April 27.
