Antonio Zavala Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Castillo Funeral Home on Mar. 28, 2026.
Antonio Zavala Jr. was a loving husband, father, and grandfather who passed away on Tuesday, March 24, surrounded by his loved ones. He was born on July 23, 1955.

Antonio proudly served his country in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War. He later earned a college degree as a counselor, dedicating his life to helping and guiding others.

He married the love of his life, Julie Ann Borjon, in September 2012. Together, they built a happy and loving life, surrounded by family. Antonio was deeply adored and loved by his stepdaughters, Pearl Salazar and Krystal Salazar, and his stepson, Kevin Salazar. He cherished every moment spent with his grandchildren and created memories that will be treasured forever.

Antonio was known for his generous heart and selfless spirit. He was always willing to help anyone in need-even strangers-and would give his last dollar to support someone going through a difficult time. He did not care for material things, but instead found joy in making the people he loved happy, no matter the cost.

Antonio will be profoundly missed by his stepchildren, grandchildren, extended family, and many friends whose lives he touched.

He will live on forever in his wife's heart until they are reunited again in the house of the Lord.
