The following messages of condolence and symbols
have been added in memory of Anthony.

I had the pleasure of knowing Tony as we did our Graduate Secondary Education Diploma together at Australian Catholic College. I lived with him for a year with others in Ballarat. Tony was a beautiful person and was friendly and .funny. He was an amazing friend and he stays in my heart always. He was genuine and kind. He was one in a million. I had the privilege to know him and he taught me what true friendship is about and what is important in life. Fayxx

I only learned of Tony's passing today.
I did volunteer work with Tony at Karingal, back in the day.

Tony, you are a true gentleman.
You are among the kindest and bravest souls I know. I feel privileged to be among many whose days are made brighter by your presence. Rest in peace my friend.

May you R.I.P. Tony. I am honoured to have met you and call you my friend. We met through both the Crohn's and Ostomy groups. You fought a courageous battle. Farewell my friend and fellow Crohn's/Ostomate warrior. ❤️

You will always be fondly remembered, Tony. I am so glad our paths crossed. You always made me smile and kept such an upbeat view of life. I will never forget you, my friend. Rest peacefully, my friend. I send you love. <3

Thinking of you as you remember the good times with Tony. My deepest condolences to you and all of the family.

Our deepest condolences. Sorry we couldn’t attend , but you are all in our thoughts and ❤️

Deepest sympathy to Annie on the loss of her little brother Tony. We have so many fond memories of growing up with the Costa family and Tony was always such a happy and fun person to be around. Small in stature but with a big heart, he has earned his place in heaven with his beautiful sister Margie and parents, Josie & Phil. RIP Tony.

Tony you were a person of humour and diligence to things you believed in. We remember the St Mary's youth group days. Deepest sympathy to your Annie and family who walked the road with you and to your many friends and workmates who will miss you dearly.

You were so loved by our family. We will miss your smile, our banter but most your courage. You battled your life with Crohns you fought so hard especially your last few weeks.Thank God you are now resting in peace. Love always John Maryanne & family.

Our heartfelt condolences to Annie and family. Tony was such a fighter to the very end.
May he rest in peace 🙏🏻

I had the privilege of working as a volunteer in Tony's classes for several years. Always, he was professional, calm, well-prepared and showed unfailing kindness to the students and his fellow staff. Of course, we talked about football, with me being a North Melbourne supporter. I recognised a true lover of the game, and respected his devotion to Geelong. It is hard to believe he is gone at a comparatively young age, but he leaves a legacy with the students he taught and his fellow staff. Rest in peace, Tony.

Tony's love of music brought us together online. Though I never got to meet him, I saw many photos on social media where he always had a big grin on his face. I hope he is smiling in heaven too.
