Carlos A. Castillo

Carlos A. Castillo, a gentle soul, was called to his Lord and Savior on May 4, 2020, after a brief illness. He was 68 years old. Loved dearly by his mother, Carlos was born in Fairbanks, Alaska, on July 16, 1951, the first child of Carlos Z. and Betty W. Castillo. Carlos was the oldest of nine children, Rene J. Castillo (deceased 1997), Marco A. Castillo, Victor B. Castillo (Sharlotte), Lucia C. Speck (Mark Lumetta), Silvia C. Marr (Matthew), Hector D. Castillo (deceased 1980), Hernan M. Castillo (Yolanda), and Susana C. Watkins. Carlos lived in Kentucky and Houma before his family finally settled in New Orleans. He was a marine welder. Some of Carlos’ fondest times were as a youth whiling away warm summer days on the farm of his grandparents, Joseph and Mary Williams, near Highland, Wisconsin. Carlos was uncle to Jason, Rachel, Sarah, Alexander, Dominic, Janelle, Jonathan, Nathaniel, Vincent, Claudia, Seth, Rebecca, and Eamon. Carlos will be missed by his family but is at last at peace.
