Anthony Costa Obituary

Anthony Costa, Jr, age 41 of Taunton, passed away on February 28, 2019 at MA General Hospital. He was the beloved husband of Melanie (Goulart) Costa and devoted father to Anthony Costa III and Isabella Marie Costa. Tony was born in Taunton, the loving son of Anthony and Maria (Pimental) Costa, Sr and older brother to Jason Costa of Taunton. Employed as a labor foreman with Walsh Brothers, Inc, and a member of Labors Union Local 22, Tony was beloved by his fellow workers and everyone on the job site. If there was anyone in this world that could make you smile, it was Tony Costa. Tony had the unique ability to connect with people through his contagious laugh and sense of humor. Tony also enjoyed the outdoors, hunting, fishing, camping, and spending time with his loving family. He was an amazing husband, father, son, brother, and friend to all. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, March 8, 2019 at 10 am in Saint Jude the Apostle Church Whittenton St, Taunton. (Relatives and friends may meet directly at church.)

I met Tony at fox hall prodject. Umass Lowell. From the first hand shake Tony and I became friends. His infectious laugh and smile accompanied with a can do attitude , in my opinion is the recipe for success. Know matter how busy Tony was on the prodject. Tony always said hello and do you need anything. As. The sprinklerfitters on the prodject. Tony was instrumental of us finishing the prodject on time. Tony and I became friends. I accompanied Tony and Melanie one morning fishing at the Cape Cod canal for stripers . Tony had a passion for striped fishing and the outdoors . Tony. Was the best. He will be greatly missed, but always and forever in our hearts.
