Joseph Anthony Castillo

Joseph Anthony Castillo 2/25/1971 - 5/8/2015 44, Joseph left us unexpectedly on Friday, May 8, 2015. Joseph was an incredible spirit, he affected the lives of so many. There is rarely a person who did not feel a stronger than normal connection to him. He was always available to lend a hand and made time for all who asked of him. A skilled mechanic by trade, and an even better father, grandfather, son, brother, cousin, and friend. Joseph lived a full life although it was too short. He welcomed everyone with a smile and made sure you felt at ease. He leaves us with a blueprint to follow, his legacy is his kindness and ability to live life to the fullest and bring along anyone who wants to come. He was unique, someone we will greatly miss. There are no goodbye's, only see you later.........Joseph is survived by: daughter, Marissa Jo Castillo and the keeper of his heart, grandson, Anthony Rene Castillo; parents, Joe and Connie Castillo; sister, Vivian (Vince) Lopez; nieces, Kalia and Mila Lopez; Godchildren, Leah Holguin and Christopher Holguin; grandmother, Carmen Benitez Baker and girlfriend, Danitza Ortiz to whom we are grateful.
