Juan Castro Obituary
Juan Francisco Castro Vallejos February 2, 1970 – July 8, 2025
Juan Francisco Castro Vallejos, age 55, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, passed away peacefully on July 8, 2025. Born on February 2, 1970, in Apastepeque, San Vicente, El Salvador, Juan brought light and warmth to all who knew him.
Juan was a deeply compassionate and generous person, always ready to lend a helping hand. His love for others was evident in everything he did—especially in the way he cooked. Nothing brought him more joy than preparing meals for his family and sharing laughter around the table. He was known for his sense of humor, his big heart, and his unwavering dedication to his loved ones.
Juan is survived by his siblings: Luis Castro, Veronica Castro, Patricia Castro, Freddy Castro, and Enrique Castro. He was a cherished uncle to Luis Castro Jr., Aileen Castro, Rebecca Rodriguez, Jasmine Rodriguez, Jesse Rodriguez, and Emily Rodriguez. His memory will live on in the hearts of his family and all those who had the privilege of knowing him.
“Aunque ya no estés aquí con nosotros, tu amor y tu recuerdo vivirán por siempre en nuestros corazones.” (Though you are no longer here with us, your love and memory will forever live in our hearts.)
