Paul William Covert

1943 - 2025

Paul William Covert, 81, of Reynoldsville, passed away on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, at UPMC Shadyside, Pittsburgh.
He was born in Sewickley on Nov. 24, 1943, the only child of the late Paul Lawrence Covert and Eleanor (Pfaff) Covert.
Mr. Covert worked as an American steel and iron manufacturer for J&L (Jones and Laughlin) Steel mill which was located in West Aliquippa. He later worked as a Security Guard prior to his retirement.
In his younger days, Paul enjoyed riding his Harley with his sons, enjoying the open air and scenery that surrounded them.
He most recently enjoyed sitting on the porch with his dogs, Rylee and Diesel, just watching the birds and enjoying the day. Paul had a sense of humor, often joking and teasing with people he interacted with.
His presence was steadfast and true; each day, when his daughter left for work, he would always say, "Okay, I'll be here." He will be dearly missed.
He is survived by four children, Scott Covert of Warren, Lynn Lombardo of Bridgeville, Eric (Kathy) Covert of Mooresboro, North Carolina, and Catherine Ohler, with whom he made his home with in Reynoldsville; seven grandchildren, Heather (Joey) King, Christopher Covert, Matthew Lombardo, Catherine "Katie" Ohler, Courtney (Jeffrey Kuntz) Ohler, Kelsey Snyder and Jessica (John) McLaughlin; and four great-grandchildren, Brantly and Bristol King, Anthony Lombardo and Paisley Kuntz.
Friends will be received from 2 until 3 p.m. on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, at Shumaker Funeral Home, Inc., Big Run.
A graveside service will follow at Circle Hill Cemetery.
