Christopher Douglas Costello

Christopher Douglas Costello 39, passed away Wednesday April 3rd, 2024. Chris was born in Anchorage Alaska on September 13th, 1984 to Daniel and Shelley Costello. He moved to Washington with his mother in 1988 and that is where he built his life as an adult. Chris was an only child. He and his mom did everything together with 17 years raised at the Convention center and hotels, where his mom was in management, to going to Lions club events. He was her tag along. He would travel to Alaska to visit his Dad and family every summer, making many memories with Grandma D, dad, aunts, uncles and cousins. Christopher graduated from Wenatchee High School in 2003. He met Tonya in the fall of that year and they married in 2007. They enjoyed traveling, attending concerts including Backstreet boys, Kenny G, Celtic Thunder, Tim Hawkin and many more. They had a passion for kids from helping with their nieces and cousins to leading Saturday night children’s church at The Living Room. Chris and Tonya were married 16 years and in that time they were foster parents for 9 years in the Wenatchee Valley caring for children with high needs. They adopted their son Chase (11) in 2018 and Daughter Katelynn (13) in 2019. They had their youngest son Oliver (4) in October of 2019. Chris worked security throughout the Valley including the dams, courthouse & library and in recent years returning to his favorite location, Rocky Reach Dam, Rock Island Dam, working for Allied Universal Security and Chelan County PUD. He could be seen greeting guests and employees with a big smile and chipper welcoming attitude. Chris was passionate about his family, friends, movies, history, and anything with a motor. He enjoyed going to history and Aviation museums, car shows and was always up for a good burger. Chris recently met his girlfriend Peggy and started dating in the fall of 2023. They enjoyed movies, music and family time together. She brought out the nerdy side out of Chris. They had fun dressing up as ghostbusters for Halloween with proton packs and all, and even made the VIP opening night for the release of the movie. He leaves behind his family, parents, and many friends. We were all richer for having known him. Forever missed, never forgotten, until we meet again. Service will be held Saturday April 20th at 10am at Calvary Bible Church, 605 First St, Wenatchee, with potluck gathering at Rocky Reach Dam to follow.
