Christopher Costello Obituary

CHRISTOPHER COSTELLO Christopher Thomas "Chris" Costello, 24, an audio installer, of Las Vegas, passed away Aug. 2, 2010. He was born Dec. 24, 1985, in Dallas, and was a 23-year resident of Nevada.

I can begin to fathom the pain his family is going thru. Chris and I dated early this summer. He was such a gentleman and an all around great friend. my most favorite memory was of chris, alex and I going to the ok go concert at red rock. It was a blast and I felt like the luckiest girl to be on his arm. I will miss him dearly. I love you chris always and forever

There are no adequate words to express my feelings for your family, at this time of incomprehensible loss. As you can probably guess, I'm feeling your pain. Always remember the special times you have shared, they will ultimately outshine everything else. It is not much consolation now, but forever be grateful for the time you had with your beautiful boy, he was truly a gift from God.
