Dale Francis Covington, Jr. of Cannon Falls, passed away on Friday, January 8, 2021 at Methodist Hospital in Rochester, MN.

Dale was born in Crystal City, MO, the son of Dale Sr. and Juanita Valera (Langston) Covington. He graduated from Crystal City High School in 1969 and went on to attend North Central University in Minneapolis. For most of his career, Dale worked in the automotive industry, including Polar Chevrolet and Tousley Ford, both in White Bear Lake, Harry Browns Chevrolet in Faribault, and Clements Chevrolet in Rochester. Dale had an impeccable work ethic. He lived in service to others and did so with a positive attitude.

Dale was an active member of the Rochester Chamber of Commerce and served as Ambassador, as well as Cannon Falls Chamber of Commerce and Business Networking International (BNI). Dale touched many lives. He never knew a stranger, just friends he hadn't connected with yet. Anyone who knew him will tell you that he always had a smile for them and made it his mission to make them feel welcome and appreciated. Dale was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. There wasn't anything he wouldn't do for his family. He will be deeply missed by all.

He is met in Heaven by his parents; daughter, Tamera; sister, Faith Bollinger, and many other loved ones and pets. He is survived by his loving wife, Linda; daughter, Amy; son, Matthew; granddaughter, Nikki; and many other loving relatives and friends.
