Albert Costales Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Albert was an attorney for the people. He was driven by justice, rooted in compassion and always stood with those who needed a voice.
Outside of his professional life, Albert was a man of diverse passions. He had a deep love for the outdoors, particularly hunting and fishing. An avid collector, he had an impressive array of cars and motorcycles. Albert also had a vibrant love for Salsa music. His rhythm extended beyond listening, as he was often found playing the bongos and dancing.
He is survived by his wife of 41 years, Mayela Costales; his son, Gino A. Costales; sister, Lisa Costales-Hartel and her husband Thomas; and his nephews- Kurt Hartel and Eric Hartel; as well as countless individuals whose lives he touched with his kindness and unwavering support. He was predeceased by his parents, Albert and Mary Costales, and his sister, Lena Costales.
The Costales Family will be receiving guests for a Celebration of Life Service on Saturday, July 19, 2025 from 4:00-6:00 P.M. at Kirikos Family Funeral Home. All are invited to come tell stories, fellowship and celebrate Albert's life.
He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
