Michael Castillo Obituary
Michael was a devoted father, brother, and son whose life touched many. His greatest joy was his daughters, Mia and Zoe who were the center of his world. He spent time in both Illinois and Georgia, where he built lasting friendships and treasured connections. Known for his generous spirit, kind heart, and sense of humor, Michael was quick to make friends wherever life took him. He was also an avid music lover and a lifelong fan of the Chicago Bears.
Michael is survived by his daughters, Mia and Zoe; his father, Michael Anthony Castillo, Sr.; his mother, Melinda G. Glover; his sister, Miranda Castillo; his nieces; grandfather, Jack Glover; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
He is reunited with his grandparents, Maria "PeeWee" Castillo, Israel "Kookie" Castillo and Janet "Nana" Glover.
He will be remembered for his laughter, his loyalty, and above all, the love he shared with his family and friends.
Family will be receiving guests on Tuesday, September 30, 2025 from 3:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. at Dieterle Memorial Home 1120 S. Broadway, Montgomery, IL 60538
