Jeremy Kitchens, of Conyers, passed away Monday, January 10, 2022, at the age of 44. Jeremy grew up in Oxford and for the last 29 years, he lived in Conyers. He was a dedicated employee with the City of Covington since 1997. He started out doing ground maintenance then eventually transferred to the electric department.
