Garza III and Yvette Ann Castillo. From an early age Esteban was a bright light beaming in every direction. Esteban was charismatic, kind, funny, genuine and just about the most extroverted person you would have ever met.
Esteban put family and friends at the top of his list always carving out time to make memories and share laughs.

Esteban loved serving his community and touching lives in the simplest of ways. Esteban continued his education as a Roadrunner at the University of Texas in San Antionio. Esteban was majoring in Neuroscience hoping to graduate and begin applying for Med Schools.
To many, Esteban was just about the greatest person they had ever met. His energy, humor, and kindness are just some of the qualities that will be missed. Esteban had a unique way of making everyone he encountered feel special even if it was just for a short moment. Esteban had the ability to make everyone he interacted with feel heard and seen.

Esteban was like no other. His spontaneous nature left for great stories. In his free time Esteban made trips to Austin, College Station, Dallas and even did an annual Oklahoma trip. When Esteban wasn’t making memories he enjoyed riding his motorcycle, fishing, but most importantly being with friends and family. Esteban left a lasting imprint. Esteban will continue to live on in everyone he encountered. He is the definition of someone gone too soon.
