He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Stacey Costello; his son, Nicholas Costello; and his brother, Henry Costello. As well has both his parents James and Victoria Costello.  There is comfort in knowing that after so many years of missing them, Ron is reunited with all of them again.

Ron dedicated 36 years of his career to Port Everglades, where he served as Superintendent of Public Works. Over the years, he built not only a career, but countless friendships and connections with the people around him.

Ron was a caring and generous man who was always willing to lend a hand. He was the kind of person who would give someone the shirt off his back and never think twice about it. He loved to cook—not necessarily for himself, but for everyone else—and there was something special about seeing the people he loved gathered together enjoying a meal he had made.

An old soul at heart, Ron loved the music of the 1950s and ’60s, loved his dogs, and, most of all, loved his family. Those who knew him will remember his big heart and the many ways he showed how much he cared for the people around him.

Ron leaves behind a lifetime of memories and a legacy built on generosity, family, friendship, and caring for others. He will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever held in the hearts of those fortunate enough to have known and loved him.
