Anthony Michael Costa

Anthony was born in New Bedford; he was a longtime resident of Dartmouth. He was employed at Palace Pizza prior to his passing. Anthony was sensitive, respectful and very kind to everyone he met. He was humble, forgiving and nonjudgmental. His famous quote was “everyone deserves a chance”.

Anthony loved his family dearly, especially his sister who was his best friend; who he looked forward to going on long drives with her on his evenings off. He enjoyed Boxing, jet skiing, and daily runs. Anthony also enjoyed his quad and playing paintball with his friend Tyler. When Anthony was off from work, which he truly enjoyed that job and friends he made there, he was a homebody, and spending some time on his Xbox but mostly night swimming and fire pit nights with his shepherd.

In addition to his parents and sister, Anthony is survived by his maternal grandmother, Eva Andrade of New Bedford, and many cousins, aunts and uncles. He was the maternal grandson of the late Antonio S. Andrade and the paternal grandson of the late Honorate and Gloria Costa.
