Jeffrey R. Coval

I met Jeff at CMU, and found him to be a good friend. I later met him as my son's teacher at Ford II. He was a great teacher. I am so very sorry to hear of his passing. Prayers for his family.

Jeff was one of a kind. He could bring humor to every case. His clients always received the best representation. Above all, he was a very close friend. Our differences in politics never interfered with our ability to be friends. He clobbered me in golf but it was always fun. He will be severely missed.

I am saddened to learn that Jeff passed. He was a delight in the courtroom. I loved sitting next to him waiting for our cases to be called because I knew he would always provide a great story or insight into life. That he came to law as a later in life career speaks to his patience, wit, insight into the human condition. My days at probate court will be diminished without him.

It is unbelievable to hear that Mr. Coval has passed. I have to call him Mr. Coval since he was my English teacher at Henry Ford II High School 30 years ago now! There aren't many memories that can last that long, but I will always fondly remember reading Huck Finn and the discussions that followed during his class in 10th grade. English was typically one of my least favorite classes, but I always felt welcome and comfortable in Mr. Coval's class. He had a calming demeanor and wasn't only the...

Jeff and I had only met a few times, but I fondly remember seeing the Coval family at Blake's Orchard years ago. Jeff remembered my name and warmly engaged in some autumn conversation that day. I remember thinking he was so cool. I see him as a fine father and husband and sad for first his illness and now his passing. Kelly and boys, I pray for your grief to become wonderful memories soon.

Kelly,
You and the family have our deepest condolences, clearly Jeff was too young to pass. At HFII, he was always the guy to go to if we had a question. He was "all knowing" and so level headed with his advice. May you all be filled with good memories to help heal. The Braun Family.

Kelly,
You and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers since we heard of the passing of your dear husband. Please know we mourn with you during this time and we pray for peace and grace upon your family. Love - Melissa and Steven Minton
