Preston Roger Covey

Preston Covey passed away peacefully at the age of 92. Born and raised in South Haven, Michigan, he married his high school sweetheart, Ann Flickinger, and together they built a lifelong partnership filled with shared adventure. They raised their family in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

He lived an active life and deeply treasured time with his family. Some of their happiest moments were spent snow skiing, water skiing, playing tennis, and enjoying weekends at the lake each summer. He also had a lifelong passion for cars and took great delight in surprising friends and family with a new model parked in the driveway. Throughout his career, Preston cherished the friendships he formed and the opportunities for travel and exploration they brought. In later years, he and Ann especially enjoyed their winters at their Marco Island home, where they formed many lasting friendships.

Preston was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Ann, and his son, Doug. He is survived by his daughter, Kindy Segovia (Gil), and his daughter-in-law, Beth Covey. He was lovingly known as “Poppi” to his four grandchildren, Andrea Bray (Mike), Alyssa Skolasky (Luke), Merideth Muthleb (Mike), and Nevin Covey, and to his six great-grandsons, Everett, Ethan, Calvin, Grady, Keller, and Jason.
