<div>️ With Profound Sadness
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With heavy hearts, we are announcing the passing of our beloved Omar J. Castillo, who departed this world on June 9th, 2025.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Omar, was more than a devoted father, he was a loving grandfather, husband, brother, an uncle, <em>MY</em> uncle, father-in-law, and a cherished friend to many.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He leaves behind his beloved, wife Martha Castillo, his two devoted sons Omar and Marlon, and his most treasured grandchildren: Valeria, Ronald, and Brianna.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He was dearly loved by his daughters-in-law, Yelka and Sindy whom he embraced as his own, as well as by his nieces, nephews, and extended family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His love for each of them was unwavering, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Though we deeply mourn his passing, we hold close the warmth of his memory — a legacy of kindness, quiet strength, and the unstoppable laughter he sparked with his ever-witty humor, the heart of a child, but above all, the steadfast love he gave so freely..
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His presence lives on in every story told, every act of compassion inspired by his example, and every heart he touched. May his soul rest in peace, forever remembered and always loved.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>️ A mass to honor Omar’s life will be announced in the coming days.</em>
</div>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>

<div>️ Con Profunda Tristeza
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Con gran pesar, anunciamos el fallecimiento de nuestro querido Omar J. Castillo, quien partió de este mundo el 9 de junio de 2025.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Omar fue más que un padre devoto: fue un abuelo, esposo, hermano, tío, <em>MI</em> tío, suegro y un querido amigo para muchos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Deja atrás a su amada esposa Martha Castillo, a sus dos devotos hijos, Omar y Marlon, y a sus queridos nietos: Valeria, Ronald y Brianna.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Fue muy querido por sus nueras, Yelka y Sindy, a quienes abrazó como suyas, así como por sus sobrinos y sobrinas, y su familia extendida.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Su amor por cada uno de ellos fue inquebrantable, y su ausencia será profundamente sentida por todos quienes lo conocieron.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Aunque lamentamos profundamente su partida, atesoramos el calor de su recuerdo — un legado de bondad, fortaleza, carcajadas imparables con sus bromas ingeniosas de siempre, corazón de niño pero sobre todo, su amor firme e incondicional.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Su presencia perdura en cada historia contada, en cada acto de compasión inspirado por su ejemplo y en cada corazón que conmovió. Que su alma descanse en paz, recordada y amada por siempre.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>️ <em>En los próximos días se anunciará un misa en honor a la vida de Omar.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Apoyando a la Familia Castillo
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>En honor a Omar J. Castillo, hemos creado esta campaña de GoFundMe para ayudar a aliviar las responsabilidades financieras que conlleva el entierro de un ser querido.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Este gesto busca brindarle a su familia el tiempo y el espacio para el duelo, reunirse y comenzar a sanar sin mayores dificultades económicas.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Si se siente conmovido a contribuir, ya sea haciendo una donación, compartiendo esta página o simplemente compartiendo con la familia sus pensamientos y oraciones, sepa que su apoyo es indescriptible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cada acto de bondad es una luz en sus momentos de dolor, y por ello, estamos profundamente agradecidos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Con cariño y sincero agradecimiento,
</div>
<div>La familia Castillo
</div>
