DJ Jose Castro Memorial (USDJA)

We learned on October 25, 2015 that our long-time friend, fellow disc jockey, and USDJA Founding Member, Jose Castro (Baltimore, MD) was found deceased at his home.  We are deeply saddened by this sudden loss.

Jose was loyal to his friends and would be the first to offer assistance when it came to helping another DJ learn about any aspect of the industry and regularly gave his time, talents, and use of equipment to those in need.

While Jose could be fun-loving and quick to playfully pick on his fellow DJs, he was a very private person as well.  USDJA is establishing this fund now to provide immediate support for Jose's friends and family to sponsor a proper memorial service.

Any excess funds will be used to the creation of an annual memorial award in his name for the U.S. disc jockey that best portrays Jose's spirit of helpful service to those in need within the industry.

Questions or information can be sent to Jason Walsh at [email redacted].  

Current clients of Avalon Entertainment can also contact USDJA at the above email address.   While we cannot take responsibility for his affairs, we will assist in fulfilling confirmed entertainment services for which a contract was completed and a deposit was made to Jose.

RIP Jose Castro and thank you for your many years of entertainment service to our region!
