Samuel Acosta Jr.

Samuel was born March 8, 1965 to Samuel Acosta, Sr and Consuelo (née Herrera) Acosta. After graduating from John H. Reagan High School in 1985 Samuel went on to study music at East Texas Baptist University.

After college Samuel pursued a career as a salesman in the christian music industry.

He returned home to Austin in 2009 and worked in jobs for both the State of Texas and the City of Austin.

Samuel was an avid sports fan, and enjoyed cheering on the Dallas Cowboys, Texas Longhorns, and New York Yankees throughout the year. He was also an active and devoted member of his church and a gifted trumpet player that participated in many ensembles throughout his lifetime.
