With a heart full of love and adventure, Michael Anthony Casillas, left this world according to Gods plans on July 15, 2025, in his hometown of San Antonio, Texas. Born on April 1, 1975, to proud parents Rudy and Elvia Casillas. Michael's presence in this world was a gift to all who knew him-a beacon of courage and love that illuminated the lives of his family and friends.
Michael was a lifelong learner and a master of his craft, devoting years to the trade of an electrician. His skilled hands and sharp intellect lit up rooms and sparked inspiration. He was the embodiment of diligence and commitment, values that he applied in every aspect of his professional life.
Outside of work, Michael's spirit was as boundless as the clear night skies he adored to gaze upon. A true Texan outdoorsman, Michael's passion for hunting was matched only by his love for the stars above. Friends and family would often find him with his eyes to the heavens, dreaming of the unlimited possibilities of the universe. His interests provided a rare and beautiful space where those around him could join in his adventures and forge unforgettable memories.
Michael leaves behind a legacy of unconditional love, as evidenced by the strong family ties he nurtured and maintained throughout his life. He is survived by his parents, Rudy and Elvia Casillas, who cherished him as a son who brought them immeasurable joy. Ex-wife Melissa, Daniel and Elijah. Brother Roland wife Monica, nephews Ceaser, Noah, Joshua and niece Ariana. Will forever hold dear the fearless and compassionate spirit that was Michael. Each lesson he imparted, whether through word or deed, will continue to shape their journeys.
Those fortunate enough to have known Michael would describe him as a pillar of support, a man who met life's waves with a steady gaze and a heart of bravery. Whether through his laughter that echoed during family gatherings or the sparks of wisdom in his adventurous anecdotes, he instilled the belief that the greatest adventures lie in the love we share and the courage we muster.
Michael Anthony Casillas's departure from our earthly realm has left behind a constellation of memories that will eternally shine in the hearts of his loved ones. It was a life bold, beautifully lived, and brimming with the tenderness that now offers comfort to all as we bid him a loving farewell. His story is not one of endings, but a continuous thread in the fabric of countless lives he touched, a guiding star that will continue to lead us through the night.
