Born on July 25, 1971 to Juan and Mari Carmen Costa survived by father Juan, sister Cris, brother in law, aunts, uncles, cousins, neices and nephews.
Juancho grew up in Elmhurst and Astoria, NY atending the High School of Art and Design and John Jay College of Criminal Justice. He joined the New York City Department of Corrections, where he was currently employed and served with honor since 2004.
Lovingly refered to as Juancho by all that knew him, he enjoyed watching the Yankees and Jets, fishing but most of all spending time with his family and friends. Although never having children of his own, he considered all of our children his. He was Santa Clause to all that knew him... giving the shirt off his back if he thought you needed it.
