I decided to look up a friend I had not connected with in some time to find this very, heart breaking news.  I am so very sorry to know that Christian has passed- my heart goes out to the Castro Bros. and whole family.  He was heavy in my thoughts this week and I have been off social media for some time now.  I am shocked- what a genuinely lovely soul & creative spirit that lit up any room he was in.  <3 Jackie L Chicago

One day after school, in the short period of time I was away from the computer I was using, Christian Castro signed me up for the Madison Mustard Museum's mailing list. 18 years later, it remains a consistent reminder of his sense of humor. When I've migrated email accounts since then, I've resubscribed out of tradition, even if I haven't opened the email itself for years. I was able to visit the museum a few years ago before his passing and thought about him the entire time, but didn't reach out. I wish I did. Much love to a kindred goof and the Castros during a hard year.

One of the many fond memories…
2014, Castro 🏠
One of the many fond memories of playing video games and hanging out with Christian when we were younger.
His heart was as big as a mountain.

So very sad to hear of Christian's passing. I was so fortunate to have met him through speech and hung out with him my last two years at Shepard. The last time I saw him was in LA about 9 years ago, he came with me to a punk show even though he didn't know the band and it was a blast. We went out to eat afterwards and just caught up with each other. 

I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. He was an all around amazing person and my memories of him will always bring a smile to my face. 

From the Saltin Family to the Castro Family. 💛 Sending you all love and  comfort. 
My deepest condolences to the Castro family. You all have been inspirations and friends to myself and my whole family for decades.  Christian was one of the kindest, most caring, and most fun people I met in my time in high school and I'm blessed to have known him.  I've known few people who light up every room they're in as much as Christian did.  He and all of you have left an impact and changed my life in positive ways, and I'll always be grateful for that.  Thank you and take care,
I'm sorry to hear about Christian's passing, I was at a shock when I heard. He was awesome, I will miss our small conversations and greetings. Loved his Halloween costume.

Castro family, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Christian was such a bright light in a not so bright world. I don’t have a single memory of him from high school that doesn’t make me smile and his dancing videos continued to bring joy.

Christian, you were important and you were loved. You brought happiness and touched lives in ways I’m sure you never imagined. 

My deepest condolences to you and your family. I was on the Speech team with Christian in high school. A talented kid who could make everyone laugh. He will be missed. 
Sending love and condolences to the Castro's. I'm so sorry, Christian was a very authentic good person which is hard to find. 
Christian’s passing has been such a devastating shock to our family. I will always remember Christian by his deeply kind and silly nature, and the special bond that he shared with his siblings. He brought so many joyful moments that will live on. Much love to you, Castro family. 
My heart is truly saddened at the loss of such a sweet, kind, loving soul. Condolences to the entire Castro family.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family ❤️ sending condolences and a hug
I'm so sorry Ramiro. While I never met your brother if he was anything like you he was an amazing human. My love goes to you and your family.
