Jesus Antonio Urbano de Castro

Jesus Antonio Urbano De Castro, 65, passed away on October 5, 2026. Born on February 6, 1961, in Manila, Philippines, Jesus Antonio was the son of Pedro and Lydia De Castro. Throughout his life, he was cherished by those who knew him—respected for his steady devotion to family, guided by faith, and remembered for a warmth that could be both quietly thoughtful and gently humorous.

Jesus Antonio built a life defined by diligence and service. He worked for the City of San Diego as an Assistant Engineer Civil for eleven years, bringing a hard-working spirit and a conscientious sense of responsibility to his work. Those closest to him knew that the same loyalty and care he gave in his professional life were the very qualities he carried into his home and friendships—always attentive, always willing to put others first.

On January 30, 1985, Jesus Antonio married his childhood sweetheart, Susan De Castro. Their marriage stood as a testament to enduring commitment and steadfast love. He is survived by his wife, Susan De Castro; his two children, Josef and Alexa De Castro; his three sisters; and his one brother. He was predeceased by three of his siblings.

In the rhythms of everyday life, Jesus Antonio found joy in the things that brought people together. He loved listening to classic soft rock, with favorite musicians including The Beatles, Elton John, Eagles, and Chicago, and he especially enjoyed going to concerts. He also appreciated fine cuisine at fancy restaurants, and he was a very good cook—faithfully preparing breakfast, lunch, and dinner for his family with a selfless generosity that spoke louder than any words. A devoted sports fan, he followed the Padres and the Chargers, and he also enjoyed watching horse racing and making frequent visits to the casino.

To those he loved, Jesus Antonio offered steady guidance, often repeating the simple counsel that reflected his practical care and concern: “Don’t waste your money, and take care of yourselves.” In that everyday advice lived the heart of who he was—beloved, loyal, and quietly devoted to the well-being of his family.

Jesus Antonio Urbano de Castro will be remembered with deep respect and lasting gratitude, and his presence will be profoundly missed.
