In Memory Of
Joe L. Acosta
1960 - 2020
In addition, Joe had a passion for fitness and music. He loved to run at the track and lift weights at the gym. Using his athletic gift, he later went on to volunteer his time officiating and coaching youth in Kansas City Golden Gloves Boxing. He became more than just a coach, to many creating a lasting impression on his community for years to come. With his kind words, charisma and compassion, he could light up a room with laughter and love. Many would remember him as “Joe The Boxer” but to his kids he was just “Papa Joe”. He is preceded in death by his parents Louis and Pauline Acosta. He is survived by his daughter Cristina (MeMe) Acosta and son Joseph L. Alfredo (JoJo) Acosta.
Joe’s family would like to extend their gratitude to the ICU nurses at St.Joseph Medical Center for their incredible care for him and his daughter during his stay. As well as to everyone who prayed and supported him throughout his battle with COVID-19.
Service is scheduled for Thursday, October 29th at Sacred Heart Church 2646 S. 34th St. Kansas City, KS. Visitation is at 10:30-11:30. Mass for close friends and family at 12:00pm.
