Mr Nicholas Mario da Costa

6th December 1939 - 21st October 2025

No flowers please

It is with great sadness we share the passing of Nicholas da Costa on Tuesday, 21st October 2025, following a short illness. In his final days he was surrounded by family who were blessed with the opportunity to say goodbye, and spend precious moments with him.

 

Born in Mumbai India 85 years ago to Olga and Alex da Costa, Nick lived a life filled with warmth, laughter, and love, underpinned by his faith in God. Despite having a successful career as a research scientist with significant innovations in the healthcare & contact lens sector, his focus was always on his family. He prioritised time with his children over time at the desk, and held a deep affection for his family and friends. He will be remembered not only for his creativity and sharp mind, but also for his mischievous sense of humour. 


In memory of Nick and in lieu of any flowers, donations can be made to his local church charity, the St. Mary’s Saint Vincent de Paul Society (Account details 46079807 Sort code 60-60-04). The family also appreciate you keeping him in your prayers, and offering masses.


He was one of a kind, and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.


The funeral will be live streamed for those unable to attend. Details to follow.
