Jeffrey Brian Castenada, age 41, passed away on Friday, September 23, 2016 in McKinney, Texas. Jeff was born in Needles, Calif. on February 28, 1975 to Sixto and Sandy Castenada.
Jeff was the class clown who lived life to the fullest. Wise beyond his years, his heart of gold touched everyone who was lucky enough to meet him.
No memorial services are planned, so we ask that you go to the Colorado River and say a prayer for Jeff and our family. We will be holding a celebration of his life later in the year. He will live in our hearts for eternity.
Jeff leaves behind his wife and high school sweetheart, Kristie Castenada; his parents, Sandy and Sixto; sister, Diandra; brother, Kenny; niece, Darian; in-laws, Trish, Mike and Cindy; sister-in-law, Jodie; Godchildren, Cole and Luke; and mans' best friend and sidekick, Lily.
"Jeff, I love you dearly and I will miss our friendship, partnership and our future plans.
Please watch over me and keep me safe.
Team Tuna. I love you forever."-Kristie

There are no words to accurately describe the loss of a loved one. It is true heartbreak. Jeff was a man of lightheartedness and smiles. A warm soul.
As we transition from this life to the beyond the place of our beginning we are called home. Death is sad for those of us left behind but for those who transition it is a beautiful rebirth into their higher self....the soul.
It is a privilege to experience a lifetime with another, and for those of us who knew Jeff if even if it was for a short moment know that the privilege was ours.
Love, Beth
