Taylor Tay Tay Covington

Evans, GA – Taylor Montgomery Covington was granted his angel wings on June 5, 2013.

A celebration of Taylor’s life will be held at 11:00 AM on Monday, June 10, 2013 at Platt’s Belair Road Chapel with Rev. Wallace Hoyle and Rev. Mike Ingram officiating.

Taylor’s life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by him understand that the quality of his existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which he lived. His gentle smile could melt the hearts of those around him. He had a very caring heart. Taylor enjoyed fishing, hunting, football, baseball, the lake, music and sleeping late. The most precious memories he made were spending so much time with his “Bubba”, Stephen.

Taylor is survived by his parents, Kristen and Steve Covington; his brother, Stephen Blane; his paternal grandmother, Marie Covington; his maternal grandmother, Doris Ann Basler; his maternal grandfather, Dennis I. Basler; his aunts and uncles, Cindy and Leon Brand (Texas), Mark Basler (Illinois), Lisa and Marc Orloff (California), Dennis and Ladonna Basler (Illinois), Denise and Andy Thoms (Colorado), and Ken Covington (Georgia); and his many cousins.

Taylor’s “Bubba” wrote about Taylor saying “He was my little fishing buddy, we would do everything together and he would love to go and do anything I was doing. He loved to help me with anything, and was always wanting me to teach him something new whether it be about fishing or lifted trucks. He always wanted me to take him fishing or hunting. I taught him everything he knew about fishing, that’s why we were so close. Fishing together was our bonding time, and he loved and enjoyed every minute of it.”

In lieu of flowers the family has asked that donations be made in Taylor’s honor to the GRU Pediatric Epilepsy Program, c/o GHSU Foundation, 1446 Harper Street, BG2000H, Augusta, GA, 30912. If making a donation by check, please state on the memo line that this donation is in memory of Taylor Covington.

The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Sunday evening, June 9, 2013 from 5:00 to 7:00 PM at Platt’s Belair Road Chapel.
