With heavy hearts and love, we announce the passing of David Manuel Acosta, born on January 10, 1955, in Alhambra, California, to Manuel and Lucy (Nájera) Acosta. David passed away on February 4, 2026, at the age of 71, leaving behind his love and devotion to his family.

David was preceded in death by his beloved parents; his sister, Linda Flores; his brothers-in-law, Jaime Brenes and Danny Martinez; his cousin, Robert John; and many other loved ones whom he missed dearly and is now reunited with.

He is survived by his family and above all: his children, June, Sabrina, Byron, and Ryan. He also leaves behind his sons-in-law, Juan and Jose, and his daughters-in-law, Velsa and Lizbet.

David was a proud grandfather to Arianna, Niko, Elliana, Ethan, Nya, and Isabella, who brought him joy.

He will be remembered by his brothers, sisters, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, cousins, and great-nieces and great-nephews. He was truly blessed with a large family who valued each other.
