Anthony (Tony) Lee Castellano, age 55, passed away peacefully at his home on August 15, 2025. Born in January 1970 in San Diego, California, Tony was the beloved son of Marie (Julie) Bay and Lee Roy Castellano, who continue to reside in California.

Tony lived a life that was as vibrant and unconventional as he was. He embraced a nomadic spirit, often finding joy in exploring new places, sharing meals, rescuing dogs, and chasing music wherever it played. A gifted storyteller with a quick wit, Tony could turn even ordinary moments into adventures, sprinkling laughter and wisdom along the way. Deeply spiritual and apologetically free-spirited, he sought meaning and connection far beyond the surface of life.

His life was a testament to living on one's own terms, guided by love, curiosity, and an open heart. His stories and laughter will echo in the hearts of his family and friends.

Tony is survived by his loving wife, Seda Siev; his parents, Marie (Julie) Bay and Lee Roy Castellano; three children, Brittany Bay, Kimberly Mitchell, Satori Bay; three grandchildren, Blaize, Rylynn, Taeva; as well as three sisters, Candice Bay, Ashley Campbell, and Brandy Coleman.

Cremation is under the thoughtful care of Lewis Funeral Chapel.
