Erik James Castaneda

Erik James Castaneda, age 43, of Carrollton, Texas passed away on Monday, January 17, 2022. Erik was born October 7, 1978 in Skokie, Illinois. He had such a joy for music and dancing, some may even say they were as much of him as the air in his lungs. The love Erik had for his three daughters and music are the basic essence of who he was as a person. Erik was in the Marine Corp., and for the last 16 years worked in HVAC. Erik had just started the process of returning to school to become an addiction counselor. He had a daring side to his hobbies that included skydiving but more recently motorcycles. Above all else “his angels” where his greatest joy. Erik is survived by his three daughters, Briyana Granados Castaneda, Gracie and Zoey Gradick Castaneda, his brother, Nicholas Castaneda, his mother, Tracy Hill and Nephews Nicholas Castaneda, and Jordan Castaneda. A celebration of life memorial service for Erik will be held Saturday, February 12, 2022 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Stonebriar Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 10375 Preston Road, Frisco, TX 75033.
