Mr. Loving was born August 16, 1956 in Oklahoma, to the late Marilyn (Gammon) Loving and Hal Joseph Loving. The family moved to Livingston when Eston was still a child and attended Livingston School. Eston went to be with the lord Thursday, August 27th, 2020 at a local hospital. Mr. Loving was a long-time resident of Livingston.
As a young man he worked for Leonard Davis at Penwaugh Marina, where he would meet his future wife and in-laws. He worked for Global Marine Drilling Company for 27 years, starting out in the Gulf of Mexico he worked his way up, becoming a toolpusher working mostly off the Coast of West Africa. After retiring from the oil industry he spent 10 years employed by TDCJ which he also retired from.
He was an avid hunter and fisherman with a passion for sharing those activities with the people around him. Eston never met a stranger, if you knew him there is a good chance you were asked to go fishing. There aren’t many men who knew Lake Livingston as well as he did. To Eston, there was nothing better than a Spring morning easing out of the mouth Penwaugh Slough, just at day break; being greeted by calm smooth waters reflecting the colors of the morning sky. He would take his hat off, store it away and to a first time passengers surprise, would hammer down on the throttle to his bass boat sending him and his passenger flying to their next adventure.
He was preceded in death by his mother and father, Marilyn Gammon and Hal Loving. Survivors include his, wife of 45 years, Marilyn Loving, son Eston D. Loving, daughter Lesley Loving and son-in-law Jason Thomas, Aunt Genova Capps, grandchildren Jamin Ayers, Izzadora Loving and Ruby Loving, brother and family; Travis Loving, Juli Loving, Tyler Loving and Rachel Loving, sister and family; Sonya Bishop, Paul Bishop, Clint Bishop, Amy Bishop and Lacy Harrison. He will he missed by friends and family and all that knew him.
