Joseph Anthony Castillo, 21, Tyrone resident, went with the Lord on Wednesday, December 31, 2014.
He was born May 31, 1993, in Silver City to Lorraine Maldonado and Melvin Castillo. He was a Silver High School graduate and a student at WNMU pursuing a nursing degree and also worked part-time at Papa Johns. He enjoyed playing his guitar, hanging out with friends, playing his Xbox, fishing, camping, and most of all just being around his family. He had many talents. He could hear a song and play it on the electric guitar, the keyboard, or the acoustic guitar. Many people did not know this, but, he could also sing. He was very kindhearted, humble, and respectful, and always accepted everyone for who they were. Joseph never judged anyone or had anything bad to say about anybody and was well-liked by everyone. He will be greatly missed, but, in all the lives he has touched he will remain in their hearts forever.
Survivors include his parents, Melvin and Lorraine Castillo; 2, sisters, Serena and Gabby Castillo; maternal grandparents, Jesus, and Helen Maldonado; paternal grandmother, Tonie Castillo. Also surviving are many uncles, aunts, cousins, and many loving friends who all considered him their best friend.
He is preceded in death by his grandfather, Teddy Castillo, and cousin, Richard “Tite” Maldonado.
