Obituary of Robert J. Costa

Robert Costa, III, 42 of Vineland, passed away suddenly on June 18, 2019. Born in Camden, NJ, he was the oldest of 3 siblings, Rick and Nichole.

Everyone who knew Rob loved his sense of humor and sarcastic wit. He was a skilled and detailed carpenter, who took great pride in his work.

A master of striper fishing, he enjoyed riding his father's motorcycle. His smile could light up any room and his laughter was quite contagious.

Robert is predeceased by his brother, Ricky J Costa and his father, Robert J Costa, Jr.

He is survived by his mother and step father, Susan and Michael Irizarry; sister, Nichole; girlfriend, Laura; fraternal grandparents, Robert and Rosetta Costa; aunt, Catherine and Nicholas Puglia, aunt, Diana and Sal Scaffidi, uncle and aunt, Anthony and Tammy Molino, uncle, Bruce and Denise Molino, aunt Barbara Fischer and many remaining cousins.

Rob fought a courageous battle against drug addiction and depression. His sister nicknamed him "the comeback kid". He will be greatly missed. He is now resting in the arms of Jesus. We can't wait to see you again.
