Jay Robert Costigan, 52, passed away from complications related to COVID, in Billings, Montana, on Dec. 9, surrounded by his family.
Jay was the son of Robert Costigan and Darrlyln Tibbetts Costigan. He was born in Lincoln, Maine.
He married Joneen Zeller on Sept. 16, 2001, in Warren, Maine. During their married life, they lived in Maine and Wyoming. Jay worked for Northwest College Security. He continued his education at Northwest College and received an associate’s degree in education.
Rock hunting, playing video games and spending time with his family were the activities Jay enjoyed participating in the most. Jay loved going on adventures with Joneen.
Whenever they would drive there would always be a wrong turn. From going to the Bronx in New York City to the south side of Chicago, Joneen would always get them lost. But Jay loved it. It’s not everyday that you get escorted out of a part of town by the police because you were the only white people there. They took many trips and had looked forward to many more.
Jay is survived by his parents, Bob and Dee Costigan, of Waldoboro, Maine; his wife Joneen of Powell; his sons, Jay Jr.( Nicole) of Cheyenne, Dustin Martin of Haverhill, New Hampshire, and Alex Costigan of Powell; daughter Rhiannon (Kyle) Kozlowski of Red Level, Alabama; his sister Jan Costigan of Warren, Maine; and three grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Cecil and Nellie Tibbetts, uncle Shelton Tash Jr., aunt and uncle Eugene and Aloma Voisine, and cousin Yvonne Bouchard.
Funeral services will be held on Friday, Dec. 17, at 10 a.m. at Thompson Funeral Home. A viewing will be held one hour prior to the funeral service, beginning at 9 a.m. Burial will take place at Crown Hill Cemetery.
