RIP Jerry. I remember you from toddler age. Fly high with the rest of the angels. I know you will be missed 😍
To the entire Covell family and friends of Jerry, our sincere condolences. Although we just met Jerry six months ago we throughly enjoyed his company. He was quick witted, kind, and thoughtful; we enjoyed his knowledge of the building trades he was so willing to share. He will be remembered. Rest in Peace, Jerry Sue and Joe Miklusicak Friends

Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family and all those that were close to him. He will be forever in my family´s hearts. Rest In Peace Jerry~
Jerry came into my life unexpectedly and just as unexpectedly, has sadly left. While our time together was cut way too short, the six months of memories we shared together were some of the best times of my life. I could see very quickly that Jerry was a very caring, kind and considerate man to all that knew him. I am so grateful to have had this unique person come into my life and steal my heart. I am forever thankful for the memories of the fun times we spent together, especially our cross country trip out west. My heartfelt condolences go out to those close to Jerry. RIP Jerry, you will always be in my heart.
