In Loving Memory of Usaffe De Las Alas Costa, affectionately known as Sonny

It is with heartfelt sorrow that we announce the passing of Usaffe De Las Alas Costa, known to those who loved him simply as Sonny. Born on January 2, 1942, in the serene town of Indang, Cavite, Philippines, he took his last breath on December 5, 2024, in Harbor City, leaving behind a legacy of joy and unwavering friendship.

Sonny was the embodiment of vibrancy, a true life of the party whose infectious spirit enlivened every gathering. His passion for dance knew no bounds; with each rhythmic beat, he found solace and camaraderie, rallying friends and family alike to join him in joyful celebration. A loyal friend, he held deep relationships that blossomed through shared laughter and cherished memories. His zest for life remained palpable throughout his journey, making a profound impact on the lives he graced.

In addition to his lively personality, Sonny was an ardent basketball enthusiast, proud to entertain dreams that veered toward the pro-hooper realm. His enthusiasm for the game intertwined with his unwavering spirit, making him an unforgettable presence on and off the court.

Sonny’s circle of love is marked by his cherished family members. He remains forever in the hearts of his beloved wife, Epifania Costa, and his adoring daughters, Jennifer Costa-Nunez and Aileen Costa. He delighted in the laughter of his grandson, Ryan Maniego, and the joyful company of his granddaughters, Katrina Nunez and Samantha Nunez. The loving bond extended to his son-in-law, Marco Nunez, who appreciated the warmth of Sonny's spirit.

While we mourn the absence of Sonny, he is now reunited with his dear departed parents, Paulino Costa, Sr. and Anastacia Costa, whose memories shall be forever honored by those he leaves behind.

Sonny's life will be commemorated with a Visitation on December 17, 2024, at Forest Lawn - Cypress - Patriots Chapel, located at 4471 Lincoln Avenue, Cypress, CA, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. This will be followed by a Funeral Service on December 18, 2024, beginning at 9:00 AM and concluding at 10:00 AM, held at the same venue.  Followed by interment at the burial site and reception.

As we reflect on the extraordinary life of Usaffe De Las Alas Costa, we are reminded of his undying spirit, love for family, and the countless ways he touched our lives. In our remembrance, we celebrate a vibrant life well-lived, filled with the rhythms of laughter, love, and indelible memories.
