Uncle. Monroe,  Goodbyes are not forever.  Goodbyes are not the end.  They simply mean.  I’ll miss you until we meet again.  Loving you today and forever more.  Your West Cost Niece Yo-Yo

Uncle Monroe impacted our family in so many ways. Whenever you spoke to him, asked for advice or just joking around you knew he was giving you a very real prospective and giving it to you with love. His sense of humor was awesome.
I appreciate and thank God for him and the relationship we had. I have alot of fond memories and he will never be forgotten. 
To Aunt D and all the family - I love you!

Dee and family,

We offer our prayers and condolences to you. We have pleasant memories of Monroe being a kind neighbor with a good sense of humor. May the Lord's ultimate comfort constantly take hold of all your lives. Blessings to you always.

Monroe and I worked together at Robert Bosch. He was always a happy camper and just good to be around. 
I know he will be missed.
My sincere condolences and prayers are  with you. 

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him.
I’m praying for the family. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if I can be of service to you.
With love and prayers, 
Joyce Wilcox-Pittman

I served with Monroe on the USS ANTRIM.  My first ship as a very junior officer.  He was a great teacher and advisor to me for which I will always be grateful.  Wishing comfort and peace to the Covington family.

My partnership with Monroe extended far beyond our time together on the USS ANTRIM (FFG 20).  Recognizing each other as family, our sharing, caring, having each other’s back,  Monroe and I were partners through thick and thin. Despite our not spending much quality time when he came to JAX for our daughter’s wedding years ago, or when I attended his police graduation in GA, our laughs and love were without fail. Our recent final exchange further solidified a connection that only brothers and shipmates really understand. Fair Winds Brother 

Uncle Monroe, I so appreciate you. I regret not getting to visit you sooner. I love you and miss you. Thank you for checking on me and letting me know you are there regardless of distance.

Deanna. 

It is with great sadness that we send love, prayers and sympathy to Monroe’s family. May you find strength, courage and comfort in Jesus during this difficult time.
I grew up in Wimauma, Florida with Monroe and loved him as a little brother. His wit and sense of humor always shown brightly.  
Jean, Carrie, Elbert Lee and Cynthia trust God for peace.
Prayerfully yours, 
Vivian & Ray Henry  

Mr. Monroe and Dem were my neighbors at my first house. They grew to be more like family than neighbors. Mr. Monroe was always so helpful and nice all the time. He was a such a great person. He will be dearly missed.

Monroe was my brother In-law. He was a great husband to my bestfriend/sister. We had our love for the water/fishing in common and the memories of us fishing, our love for music and eating the biggest male blue crabs will always remain on my heart...Rest in Peace My Brother!
