Jerry Castillo Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Angels Cremation Center - Bakersfield on Mar. 5, 2026.
Jerry Acosta Castillo, 65. He went to be with the lord on February 28, 2026. He was born and raised in Bakersfield, Ca. Jerry was preceded in death by his parents Magdalena Acosta Castillo and Henry Molina Castillo.

He is survived by his sister Olga Castillo, brothers Jessie and Michael Castillo, Manuel, Alfonso and Oscar Acosta. His Children Manuel, Jerri, Gina, Daniel, Angela, Joseph, Dolores, Magdalena, Dominique, Tina, Jerry, Leslie and Emily. Many Nieces, nephews and grandchildren.

Jerry was full of life and absolutely adored his grandchildren. With all his children and grandchildren they kept him on his toes and vice versa. He was always full of jokes and laughter. Some would say he was a tree hugger, environmentalist and a straight HUSTLER. He enjoyed family gatherings with good free food and all the shit talking.

He has been reunited with his love of his life Margie and is dancing up in heaven with her.

He was our protector, and he will truly be missed. So many memories and stories we will forever keep you alive in our hearts. We love you always.
