Christopher Costa Obituary

Christopher Edward Costa MT. PLEASANT - Christopher Edward Costa, 50, beloved husband of Emily Michelle Costa (nee Sever), entered into eternal rest Sunday, November 6, 2022 in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. A loving, devoted father to Cameron, Caleb & Caden Costa; dear son of Ed and Lauralee (nee Phillips) Costa; brother of Kimberly Mihalik & Carey (Justin) Overholt, and uncle to many. Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Chris graduated from Midpark High School and went on to earn a business degree from Baldwin Wallace University. Throughout his academic career, Chris played football and baseball and developed a love for coaching and mentoring young athletes. He will be remembered by many young men in the community for his influence on and off the field. Chris & Emily married in Cleveland, Ohio in 1998, where they started their family. Their love for each other only grew stronger over the years and they were looking forward to and planning their 25th wedding anniversary. Chris had a great love of family, often texting his parents, wife and children to stay connected with a friendly good morning and loving good night. He never missed a chance to see the boys play a game, often traveling hundreds of miles to be there for them. He taught them the importance of taking responsibility, love of family and how to be good men. Although he is gone, they will always remember and be forever grateful for his loving example. Family will receive friends from 10:00 a.m. until the Memorial Mass at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, November 18, 2022, at St. Benedict Catholic Church, 950 Darrell Creek Trail, Mt. Pleasant, SC 29466. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial gifts be made to: Building fund, Saint Benedict Catholic Church, 950 Darrell Creek Trail, Mt. Pleasant, SC 29466.

This is super sad to see, Chris was a freshman football coach of mine back in High School. Great Guy that I respected a lot. We decorated his house the night before our Berea game. Prayers

Words cannot express our heartfelt condolences for the loss of your son brother husband and father. Chris grew up with our family, went to school with Jim and Lynne. Played with Jim on rec and school baseball and football teams. Coached our grandson. Every time we ran into him he had a smile and hug. He was the epitome of a good person one you feel honored to have been in your life. Our prayers are with you.

So sorry to hear this news. Chris was always so involved with his sons sports and so proud. First met him years and years ago, I guess it was around 2008-9 or so. Great coach, good man, my very best to his whole family.

When we heard the news of Chris´s passing, we were shocked and deeply saddened. We would like to express our sincere condolences to Emily and kids, Ed, Lori, Kim, and Carey. Currently, it´s very hard for us to process all this as wonderful memories flood our minds. Chris had special qualities about him that can´t be put in words. Those who knew him know what I mean. He was more than a friend, more like a brother. His loyalty, friendship and sense of humor will be missed.
Rest in Peace, Chris.
