James "Troll" Daniel Costa, Jr, 65, of Cumberland, MD was finally called home after a very courageous battle with cancer on June 20, 2024 while at his home with his family.

He was born in Baltimore, MD  on January 28, 1959 to the late James and Johnnie (Workman) Costa Sr.  In addition to his parents he was proceeded in death by a sister, Sue Ober.

Troll worked as a plumber and also at a nuclear power plant. He was smart and funny, and in his prime always ready to travel across the country at any time.  He had a passion for anything with an engine, especially motorcycles and old cars, and he was active in their communities.

He loved golden retrievers, especially the best one that has existed, ever, Chyenne.

Troll is survived by his sister, Karen Naomi Eveler of Cumberland; as well as his many friends.

In the hopes of stopping cancer for good, his body was donated to medical science and then he will be cremated.

A celebration of his life will be planned soon, and likely take place in September 2024.

Scarpelli Funeral Home, P.A. is assisting the family.
