Loving was born in Culpeper, Virginia, in 1899. At 10 years old, the 1910 census listed his occupation as “laborer” on his family’s farm; at 19 he listed “farming” as his occupation on his WWI draft registration card.

His life was cut short in 1947 — just after his 48th birthday — by a bone marrow disorder.John Shadrach Loving, T.A.’s younger brother, was born in 1907 and joined his brother in business at the age of 19.
