Orbin Love was the father of Jordan Love, a professional football player for the Green Bay Packers. He died by suicide on July 13, 2013, at the age of 51, just 51 days after Jordan’s 14th birthday. Orbin was a sergeant in the Bakersfield Police Department and a devoted man of God. He was described by his son as “the happiest dude you would ever see” and “always smiling”.
Orbin’s death was shocking and unexpected to his family, friends, and co-workers. They do not believe that depression was the cause of his death, but rather a change in blood pressure medication that altered his mental state and behavior. In the days leading up to his death, Orbin exhibited signs of confusion, agitation, and paranoia. He also had a history of high blood pressure and heart problems.
Orbin’s death had a profound impact on his son Jordan, who was very close to him. Jordan said that his father always believed in him and wanted him to pursue his football dreams. He also said that he still feels motivated to prove his father’s belief right and honor his memory. Jordan has since become a successful quarterback for the Packers, following the footsteps of Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre.
