I'm guessing you want something like

FOR rec IN EXECUTE ''select column_values || quote_literal(r.'' || cr.column_name || '') alias column_values''; LOOP
     column_values := rec.column_values;
END LOOP;

another suggestion, rather than do

why not use two arrays and append the name/values using array_append() and use array_to_string() to join them after that?
