Isaiah Covington Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 21, 2024.

Isaiah Charles Covington soared into the embrace of eternity on August 17, 2024. His departure leaves a sky painted with memories and a heartache that echoes through the lives he touched.

He is welcomed in heavenly embrace by his father, Charles Covington Jr., and his maternal grandparents, Rick and Leslie Gilbert-Grunder, along with his paternal grandfather, Charles Covington Sr. Isaiah's gentle spirit remains a guiding light for those he leaves behind: his loving mother, Alexis Gilbert-Grunder, his brother, Erich Grunder-Lynds, and his uncles, Jake and Erich Gilbert-Grunder, grandmother, Diane Covington, and step-father, Joseph Lynds, along with extended family and cherished friends.

With a heart as vast as the sky and a soul as gentle as a whisper, Isaiah was a towering figure of kindness, standing 6'4" yet always stooping to offer affection to a passing cat. Isaiah took great pleasure in learning and had an extensive knowledge of world history. He was an avid skateboarder and appreciated photography, art and music of all genres. His favorite band was The Cure. Zay's wild, curly hair mirrored the untamed beauty of his spirit that remains forever.

To my beautiful Zay: I love you as brilliant as each sparkling star and as way out as space I love you that far. Being your mom is the greatest gift of my life. Have a blast flying through the universe baby. Until we meet again. Love, Mom.

I remember meeting you the first time maybe in 6th grade or something like that at fuel. We were joking and talking about filthy frank and playing Stratego I believe but I'm really gonna miss the random hangouts where we'd go into the woods and make a fire, make food, set up a hammock and talk for hours. I remember the one night where it was super late and raining very fondly, trying to light that damn fire was miserable but hell it was still a great night. I had been at my lowest and you were there for me. Not necessarily giving me advice but you had shared experiences and that made me feel heard which I had never in that way before. I'm sorry we didn't get to go in the corps together. We would've loved that. Miss you brother can't wait to catch up one day, I have so much to tell you.

You were my first friend growing up, and all I ever think about and what adventures we could of had as adults, hearing from everyone else you had such a bright soul and personality that just shined anytime you showed up, I saw that shine that last time we saw each other even tho it was for 2 minutes, I think about you EVERYDAY, and you show me signs all the time, wether is wild rabbits or pretty sunsets and shooting stars, I see and feel you dude.

His love for History! At one of the Easter dinners at Dandy´s, we sat together at the kids table. At some point we began talking about war (?!) and I was amazed by all the information he had to share. His eyes literally wide open with so much passion for history. At the time I was reading about Black soldier´s experiences during the Vietnam War for a class. It was as if he was taking the class with me! He was just so knowledgeable about everything!
I remember this so vividly because he always seemed so timid and quiet when I was around. That day, his openness to talk to me made me like I finally made it into the family. I am eternally grateful. Thank you, Isaiah.

Oh how I think about you every single day. Your smile lit up every room you walked into and your gentle soft voice will be so missed. I can not even imagine this holiday season without you. From the time you could walk, you always made an effort to give each family member a little gift with a big smile at Christmas. And during the pirate polyanna game, you had a way to make the whole crowd laugh. I never thought you would be gone so soon. I love you Isaiah.
