Ronald Kovach Obituary

Ronald G. Kovach
Ronald G Kovach, age 77, passed away peacefully at home on January 25, 2024. Ronald was born on April 5, 1946, the son of the late Michael and Mary Kovach.

Ronald graduated in 1965 from Bunnell High School in Stratford, CT, and then served in the Navy during the Vietnam War. Ron was proud to be a Stratford firefighter and served the community for 18 years before having to leave the job due to injury. On the side, he painted houses, sold home security systems, and was also a jeweler. He grew up on the Kovach farm in Stratford, CT, for which Kovach Drive was named. Ron lived in Stratford until retiring to Delaware in 2005.

Ron was predeceased by his father, Michael Kovach, his mother, Mary Istvan Kovach, and his brother, Michael R Kovach. He was also predeceased by his first wife, Emma Kovach and their son Brian Kovach, and too many others to list.

Ronald is survived by his wife of 29 years, Terri Parker Kovach, and their son, Charles Kovach of Delaware. He is also survived by his sister-in-law, Rose Kovach, his nephew, Richard Kovach (wife Julie) of Stratford, CT, his niece, Barbara Bracnaro (husband Bob) of Shelton, CT, and his cousin, John Kovach (wife Joan) of Florida.

He will be missed.

A private family ceremony will be held at a later date.
