Stergios Kostadimas, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully at the age of 87. Stergios was born in the small village of Matsouki, Greece, carrying with him a deep love for his roots, his culture, and his family. He came to America in 1957 with courage, hope, and a belief in building a better life, and he did just that.
Stergios was the devoted husband of Labrini Kostadimas and a loving father to his son George Kostadimas and daughter Lena Kostadimas. Stergios also shared a deep and genuine love for his daughter in law, Kellie Kostadimas, and son in law, Steve Antonakakis, whom he welcomed as his own and cherished as part of his family. His greatest joy was being the proud and loving grandfather to his sole grandchild, Katerina Kostadimas.
He created a home filled with warmth, laughter, and unwavering love. His positivity was constant, his love was unconditional, and his pride in his family was something you could feel just by standing near him. He had a way of lifting people up, of seeing the good in everyone, and of reminding us what truly matters. He lived with grace, strength, and kindness. He taught us the meaning of hard work, loyalty, and love not just through words, but through the way he lived every single day.
Stergios was an amazing man, and his legacy lives on in all of us who were lucky enough to love him and be loved by him. He will forever be in our hearts. We love you now and always.
