Obituary for Jacob M. Costroff
The Costroff family is heartbroken to inform the South Jersey/Philadelphia community that their son, Jake, has passed away at the age of 27. Jacob was born on November 24, 1995 at Stratford Hospital to Susan and Thomas Costroff. Jake graduated Woodbury High School with the class of 2017 and went on to form Zorn, a metal/punk band with members, Eric, Nao Nao, Evan, and Ande. Jacob was a talented musician, a great friend to many and was a kindhearted and thoughtful individual. In addition to having a unique ear for creating music, his passions included painting, abstract movies, thrifting, cafes, and simply walking in the woods.

He was well loved by his community and is survived by his five siblings, Robin, Ben, Emylie, Kylar, Chris; his girlfriend, Marisa; and his boyhood friends, Jarrett, Eric, and Luke.
