The family of Anthony Covarrubias, 71, invites the Patriot Guard Riders to participate in their loved one's funeral services. We are honored to accept this invitation.
Anthony Covarrubias proudly served his country with distinction in the United States Army from 30 November 1967 to 30 November 1970 and was awarded the National Defense Service Medal and the Vietnam Service Medal among others. He was honorably discharged at the rank of SP4.
After Anthony separated from the service, he worked in various jobs, most notably as a truck driver for over 15 years.
He is survived by his son Anthony, daughter in law Marcella, four grand children and one great grand child.
