Richie was a 2012 graduate of Neshaminy High School and currently employed as an Equipment Operator at Philabundance in Philadelphia, PA. Richie was preceded in death by his Mother, Lynne Lavelle Costigan and his Grandparents James and Rose Lavelle of Ohio.
Richie is survived by his father, Richard J. Costigan III; his sisters, Christina Marie and Kelly Rose Costigan; his devoted Grandparents, Richard J. Costigan, Jr. and Mary Ann V. DiStefano Costigan; and many loving Aunts, Uncles and Cousins.
Our love for Richie and his love for us surpassed anything we could have imagined. We already miss him deeply.
While Richie had his struggles and challenges as we all do, he was able to overcome them and touched many people’s lives with happiness, positivity and a strong desire to love and live life to its fullest. His sharp wit, infectious smile and profound love for his family and friends touched countless lives during his too-short time with us.
