Mr. Gerald Joseph Covitz, 75 of Atlanta, Michigan died peacefully surrounded by his family at his home on the evening of March 7, 2019. He was born in Detroit, Michigan on April 13, 1943 to the late, Valentine and Helen Covitz. He served his country proudly in the United States Army. Gerald moved to Atlanta in the early 90's and married his wife, Marta (Moore) Covitz in May of 1996 celebrating  22 years of marriage before his passing.
