Warren L. Covert, Jr., 78, of Concord, died peacefully at home on January 29, 2025. He was the loving husband for 44 years of Mary M. Fenoglio and loving father of Mark W. Covert of Concord and Sean E. Covert of Grantham, New Hampshire.

He was born in Kearny, New Jersey on April 26th, 1946. He graduated from Kearny High School where he made lifelong friends and then went on to Fairleigh Dickinson University to earn a B.A. in history and later a M.A. at Eastern Michigan State University. After college, he was accepted to the Naval Officer's Candidate School.

Warren was a proud veteran who served for over 30 years in the Naval Reserves and saw active duty and combat in Vietnam and Desert Storm. He achieved the rank of Commander and was the first in his family to go to college and to become an officer.

All his life Warren was interested in history and closely followed current political and cultural events. He enjoyed exploring new technologies, playing strategy games and learning about the wines of the world. His passion, though, was music, especially the music of the 1960s and 1970s. He played a mean game of chess, and not so great a game of golf but loved them both. He will be sorely missed by his family and all those who knew him.

Family and friends will gather for a graveside service with U.S. Navy military honors at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery (Knoll Section), 361 Bedford Street, Concord on Friday, February 7th at 11:30 am. Concord's Town Flag will fly at half-staff on this date in recognition of Warren's honorable military service.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in his memory may be made to Disabled American Veterans (DAV) , The Wounded Warrior Project , Operation Second Chance or the Alzheimer's Association .

Arrangements are entrusted to Dee Funeral Home & Cremation Service of Concord.
