It is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing of Robert Anthony Castro. Robert has long struggled with addiction, but his battle is finally over! His demons are put to rest and he is now at peace.

Robert died the day before his 33rd birthday. In those 33 years, he was a bright spark in this world. He was talented beyond words. He was an amazing artist. He was an apprentice to Manuel Mendez who said “he was a good kid he always strived to be the best”. He also loved to play guitar! He was self taught and also taught his little sister as well. He was loving, caring, and so silly! Always known and envied for his beautiful white and captivating smile!

Robert leaves behind his children Lil’ Robert, Leia Jade and his stepdaughter Marlene. He also leaves behind his 8 siblings, his parents, his maternal grandparents, as well as his extended family of aunts and cousins and close friends! He will be deeply missed by all!

We are raising money to cover the costs of the funeral and memorial services for Robert as this passing was completely unexpected. We ask that in lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation towards the funeral costs to help us honor the loss of Robert. We are immensely grateful for the support during this difficult time. We love you Robert!!
