CONNOR COSTELLO Obituary
Born and raised in Southborough, Connor developed a deep passion for sports, with basketball holding a special place in his heart. After graduating from high school, he pursued his love for the game at Hobart College and then Salve Regina College, later traveling to Europe to play professional basketball. He would frequently travel back and forth between Europe and the U.S. to train and compete.
In 2019, he met the love of his life, Mathilde, and they got married in 2020. In addition to basketball, Connor had a love for both cooking and nutrition. He was an excellent cook and helped friends and family have healthier diets and lifestyles. He also enjoyed writing music and lyrics, showcasing his creativity.
Connor will be remembered for his unwavering compassion, willingness to always help a friend in need, and his amazing sense of humor. He was the loving brother of Ryan Costello; and the devoted husband of Mathilde Auger Costello. He is also survived by his parents, Kim and Rob Costello; his grandmothers, Nena Hicks and Roberta Costello; his grandparents, Curt and Pat van Vloten; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Beyond his family, Connor leaves a loving group of friends with whom he spent some of his happiest days, whose lives he improved immeasurably, and who will always think of him as a brother. They will honor Connor's memory by continuing his legacy of joy, a fierce sense of loyalty, and an insatiable pursuit of their dreams.
We will forever cherish the joy and laughter Connor brought to our lives. He had a warm and infectious laugh that had a way of filling the room. A Celebration of Connor's Life will be held at the family home for close friends and family in the weeks ahead. In lieu of flowers, we kindly ask that donations be made to the Boys and Girls Club of Metro West, Inc., located in Marlborough, MA, https://www.bgcmetrowest.org

Rob, Kim, and Ryan:
My family and I are sorry for your family's loss. Connor's athleticism and dedication to the game was always an inspiration to me. Connor had always been kind to me, and I was fortunate to have been able to keep in touch with him even after moving to California. I will always remember playing basketball together at Woodward when I came back to visit. I am grateful I got the chance to know Connor and to have grown up together. Our thoughts are with you.

I´m so sorry for your family´s loss. I will always remember Connor's kindness and competitiveness. Playing pickup basketball with him at Woodward in our early 20s, he´d always beat me but would give me tips or advice on how to improve my game along the way. He is gone much too soon, but I will always cherish his warmness and friendship. Sending love and condolences.
