CANTON, Ohio – W. Roderic Covey, 91, of North Canton, Ohio, passed away Jan. 15, 2021, in his home after a brief illness.
Born in Martin’s Ferry, Ohio to Robert and Elizabeth (Call) Covey, Rod graduated from high school at age 17, and enlisted in the U.S. Navy, serving as a Pharmacist’s Mate at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, MD. He graduated from The Ohio State University (OSU), earning a bachelor’s degree in Public Relations. He served as President of the OSU Wesleyan Foundation and sang in the Ohio State Glee Club and Quartet. He carried his penchant for singing into all aspects of his life and was always willing to sing to an audience.
“Everybody in the house was out upon our arrival,” platoon chief Kirk Loveland said.
“If they didn’t have smoke detectors, this would’ve been a terrible outcome.”
The fire, believed to have originated in the basement, caused an estimated $400,000 in damage.
The extent of damage also meant the family was displaced from the home.
“When the crews arrived, they had a working fire and the fire was already venting out of the basement and the upper floor windows,” Loveland said.
“There’s too much structural damage and they had to find other accommodations.”
The cause of the fire remains under investigation but it’s not suspicious in nature, Loveland said.
