Alex Anthony Castaneda

Sorry to hear that another Concord graduate and fellow team mate has passed on. Alex and I were both from Hollywood, FL and shared many trips home; all of which had some of Alex's famous humor injected through something he did or said. Alex leaves us with many great memories as a classmate at Concord, a fraternity brother (Sigma Tau Gamma) and fellow Mountain Lion on the field. I'm proud to have known him and to follow his successful coaching career which resulted not only in wins and losses, but positive impacts on significant numbers of young men. Rest in peace my friend and my best to your family in this time of sadness. John Anzivino CU 1974

Alex was a great man and a dear friend to me! He leaves a great legacy in all the young people that he impacted in so many positive ways! He truly made their lives better because he cared! Rest in peace Alex!

Alex's mother and my mother were best friends. When I was about 7 I had a cat Misu who I would bring to his house and he would constantly tease me by making believe he was putting the cat in the washer etc. He was a great person! So sorry to hear of his passing. Prayers lifted for his family. Rest in peace my brother from another mother!

I went to McArthur High School with Alex. He was such a great friend. Always positive and upbeat. A great football player and track star. He and Debbie would come to our class reunions, the two of them so in love and always talking about their beloved children. And Alex loved his students and players. Alex was special. He will be truly missed. Prayers for Debbie and family. May Alex rest in peace.

Peace be with you coach. I was blessed to have you in my life as a coach and mentor. Your teaching of love for self, family, and others continue to be a part of my life today. A price cannot be put upon how much love you gave to all if who were blessed to be in your presence. The long hot two a day football practices are no more. The laps around the track at a time my body wanted to quit but you encouraged me to keep going are no more. The memories of our laughs and sharing dry jokes will last in my memories forever. God bless Sam Hancock #36

RIP coach Castaneda, you were truly a Man among Men and truly a great coach and a Better Man. You treated me with all the love and respect you gave your family. And you always treated me like I was your son. Thx for everything coach Cas Castaneda, I love you Man Tye Roberts # 33

Not only a great coach, but a great person! Coach was always approachable and helpful. He will be missed by many. My condolences and prayers go out to his family.

What a great guy! Loved his whole family. Thankful that they trusted me to watch their children. Was so happy to get to see Coach at our 40th Lake Weir class reunion two years ago ! Rest In Peace ! I am sure you are still helping people in Heaven. Tammy Raucci
