Skye Hubbard Obituary
We are devastated to share that our bright, shining light Skye passed away on January 17.
Skye Dauphinot Hubbard shared her radiant light, selfless heart, and boundless love with her family, friends, and everyone she knew. Born on January 26, 1993 in New York City, Skye was affectionately nicknamed "Skyebird" early in life and embodied the spirit of her name-limitless and radiant. Among her abundant gifts was her ability to make everyone feel truly seen, valued, and loved. She found joy in giving-whether it was her time, energy, or infectious laughter-and never took herself too seriously. Her compassion was boundless, from offering dignity to the homeless to honoring firefighters every 9/11.
Skye lit up every room she walked into. Family was Skye's greatest joy, and she made every gathering special with her devotion to family traditions, her deep appreciation for time spent together, and her warm, fun-loving spirit. She adored her niece and nephews, showering them with meaningful attention, playful adventures, and unconditional love. Her knack for finding the most perfect, thoughtful gifts was unmatched. Skye created memories filled with laughter, a good dose of mischief, and connection that her family will treasure forever. Skye took great joy in helping take care of her niece and nephew during COVID, and their smiles always warmed Skye's heart as well. As her niece and nephews lovingly described her, Skye was giving, loving, and usually wearing a big smile and a cowboy hat. "She was always up for anything, she was always there for you, and she was cool about everything."
Skye's passion for real estate began in her youth, inspired by her father and his colleagues at Hines and her fascination with urban development in New York City. As a young girl she grew up in both New York City and Greenwich, CT. She was an active and passionate volunteer at CitySquash, an experience that shaped her early years. During her time at Taft School, she formed deep and lasting friendships that she treasured throughout her life. After studying at Duke University, she joined WeWork during its early days and later helped transform a defunct golf course in Arizona into a sustainable living community. In Los Angeles, she designed interiors for Serena & Lily before moving to Denver, where she thrived as a trusted Associate Broker at Slifer Smith & Frampton, connecting with colleagues and clients through her warmth and dedication.
Skye shared a beautiful life with her devoted fiancé, David Edward Castro, and their beloved French bulldog, Animal Skywalker. Together, they created a home filled with love, joy, friends, and lots of football. Skye was thrilled with her budding Real Estate career, finding the love of her life, her community in Denver and a bright future ahead.
Skye is survived by her fiancé, David Edward Castro; her loving parents, Tori Dauphinot and Ken Hubbard; her siblings, West Dauphinot Hubbard (fiancée Alexandra George), Suzanne Hubbard Brutocao (husband Matthew Brutocao and children Elle and Nicholas Hubbard Brutocao, and Paul Fuller Hubbard (wife Betsy Hands and son Pelican Hands Hubbard).
Skyebird, you were a bright shining light, a selfless giver, and a reminder of the beauty found in loving others. Your playful humor, deep empathy, strong loyalty and endless generosity left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know you. May your life inspire us all to cherish one another, give generously, and live with kindness and love every single day.
A celebration of Skye's extraordinary life will take place on October 4, the date of Skye and David's planned wedding, in Aspen, Colorado. Details to follow.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to the Aspen Institute (Skyebird Flower Garden). Aspen is where she enjoyed so many happy moments from her first days and planned to spend a lot of her future life.
