Jack R. Castillo
July 20, 1940 – January 20, 2023
Jack Richard Castillo, affectionately known to many as Papi, passed away peacefully on Jan. 20, 2023, surrounded by his loving family. Jack was born July 20, 1940, in Ruskin, Fla.
Anyone who knew Jack knew he loved being outdoors. Whether in his boat fishing, out in his garden tilling the soil for new vegetables, in the barn with his horses, or just sitting on his porch, he loved being outside and he loved life. Jack never met a stranger; he would talk to anyone. He always had a smile, was full of humor and loved to be surrounded by family and friends to sit, laugh and tell stories. Jack will be missed, and for so many, it’s a hard goodbye. Our husband, father and granddaddy has ridden off into the sunset to meet his savior and reunite and rejoice with his family who have gone before him.
Jack was preceded in death by his parents, Edgar M. Castillo and Lottie K. Mingo-Castillo; four brothers; five sisters; and a stepson.
Jack leaves behind his wife Doris and three children, Holly Castillo, Crystal (Fred) Doubleday and Jason (Shannon) Castillo. He also leaves behind many more nieces and nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Services will be held Friday, Feb. 3, 2023, at the South Hillsborough Church of Christ, Ruskin, Fla., 1611 1st St. SW, Ruskin,
FL 33570. Visitation will be held from 10 to 10:45 a.m. and a service from 11 a.m. to noon.
In lieu of flowers, the family asked donations to be made in Jack’s name to South Hillsborough Church of Christ, Ruskin, Fla.
