Help Support Fernando Castillo Rodriguez’s Family After Tragic Loss

On the morning of July 27th, our beloved Fernando Castillo Rodriguez was tragically taken from us due to gun violence outside his apartment complex on 85th Avenue in Oakland. At just 24 years old, Fernando had his whole life ahead of him. He was a sweet soul—full of life, laughter, and love.

Fernando was not just a son and a brother; he was the heart of his family. He was the emotional and financial backbone for his mother and his younger brother, always putting their needs before his own. His smile lit up every room, and he had a way of making everyone feel seen and supported.

His sudden passing has left an unimaginable void in the lives of all who knew and loved him—his friends, his family, and his community. As we grieve this devastating loss, we are asking for your support during this incredibly difficult time.

We are raising funds to help cover the funeral expenses and to support Fernando’s mother and younger brother as they navigate life without him. No donation is too small—every dollar will go toward easing their burden and allowing them to mourn without the added stress of financial strain.

Please consider donating and sharing this page with your network. Let’s come together to honor Fernando’s life and show his family that they are not alone.

Thank you for your kindness, love, and support.

Rest in Power, Fernando. You will never be forgotten.


Ayuda para la familia de Fernando Castillo Rodríguez tras una pérdida trágica

La madrugada del 27 de julio, nuestro querido Fernando Castillo Rodríguez fue víctima de la violencia armada y tristemente perdió la vida frente a su complejo de apartamentos en la calle 85 en Oakland. Con tan solo 24 años, Fernando tenía toda una vida por delante. Era un joven dulce, lleno de vida, alegría y amor.

Fernando no solo era un hijo y un hermano, era el pilar de su familia. Brindaba apoyo emocional y financiero a su mamá y a su hermanito menor, siempre poniéndolos a ellos primero. Su sonrisa iluminaba cualquier lugar, y tenía una manera especial de hacer que todos se sintieran vistos y queridos.

Su partida repentina ha dejado un vacío inmenso en la vida de todos los que lo conocieron y amaron: sus amigos, su familia y su comunidad. En este momento tan doloroso, pedimos la ayuda de la comunidad para apoyar a su familia.

Estamos recaudando fondos para cubrir los gastos del funeral y para apoyar a su madre y a su hermano mientras enfrentan esta dura realidad sin Fernando. Cualquier donación, por pequeña que sea, será de gran ayuda para aliviar la carga económica y permitirles enfocarse en su duelo.

Por favor considera donar y compartir esta página con tus contactos. Unámonos para honrar la vida de Fernando y demostrarle a su familia que no están solos.

Gracias por su apoyo, su cariño y su solidaridad.

Descansa en poder, Fernando. Nunca te olvidaremos.
