In loving memory of Christopher J. LoCasto, who passed away on March 4, 2024. CJ was a beloved son, brother, partner, family member and friend to many. Born on January 8, 1994. He lived a fulfilling life full of love, laughter, and generosity. He truly was a one-of-a-kind human being capable of succeeding at anything and everything he got his hands on.
In his short life, CJ was a very talented Heavy Machine Operator who dedicated his life to work and his family. CJ was known for his work ethic, drive, compassion for the things around him, and the unwavering support and protection for those he loved. He loved living life to the fullest- he enjoyed snowboarding, jet skiing, riding his quad/ dirt bike, traveling, collecting, boating, playing sports- the list goes on and on. His presence brightened any room he walked into, and his energy will never be forgotten.

We enjoyed having CJ over when the boys were growing up together through High School. He was a fun energetic kid who definitely had a zest for life. He was always respectful when he was here. Matt has spoken so highly about how they’ve stayed in touch since graduating and that CJ was always a loyal friend,
Our family is heartbroken for your loss and send our deepest most heartfelt condolences.

Every life is precious. All souls deserve to be sung out of this world with love and tenderness as the sun sets on their presence. Heart-songs of mourning include gratitude for the good they did, the lives they touched, and the connections they shared. We are blessed to have had them in our lives when they are called home..
“What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why they left this earth so soon, or why they left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that they lived. And that thier life gave us memories not to forget.
“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.” John 11:25,26
May every sunrise hold more promise, every moon rise hold more peace. They say love beyond the world cannot be separated by it. Death cannot kill what never dies. I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make.
Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.
May you be comforted by the outpouring of love surrounding you.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time. ✝️

It is with a heavy heart and tear-filled eyes that I write to you today. The news of your sudden passing has left all of us devastated, especially my niece Ava, who loved you dearly. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family during this unimaginably difficult time.
You and Ava were truly a perfect match. The happiness that radiated from her when she was with you was undeniable. Together, you faced difficult times and supported each other, proving to be a remarkable couple. Your infectious smile and great personality left a lasting impression on all who knew you, and it is heartbreaking to think that such a vibrant young guy , with so much love for life, could be taken away so soon.
I want to believe that you are now watching over your loved ones from above& Ava, Kilo, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing you will forever feel your presence in their hearts. Your spirit will guide them through these trying times.
Although I only had the pleasure of meeting you once, or Twice it felt as though I had known you forever.our family was super fond of CJ his kindness and genuineness were evident from the moment we met. You were a true sweetheart, and it is an honor to have had the chance to know you, even if only briefly.
As I write this letter, I can’t help but wish for comfort and solace for your family. Losing someone is an unfathomable feeling it’s a tragedy beyond words. May they find strength in each other and in the memories they hold dear. I hope they will find some comfort in knowing that they are not alone in their grief, that there are so many of us who care deeply for them and stand ready to support them in any way we can.
Sending love and prayers to the LoCasto family, and to my beautiful niece, Ava. Know that you are surrounded by love and that we are here for you during this difficult time. Lean on us when you need to, and remember that CJ’s love for you will forever be with you.❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻👼💙🙏🏻😢
