Saúl Castillo, de 73 años, residente de Carpentersville, Illinois, falleció el 21 de septiembre de 2025. Nació el 11 de marzo de 1952 en Guanajuato, México, hijo de sus queridos padres, Juan Castillo Ruiz y Mariana Montoya.
Saúl fue un esposo, padre y abuelo devoto, cuya vida se caracterizó por el amor, el sacrificio y la dedicación inquebrantable a su familia. Conoció al amor de su vida, Carolina García, en un pequeño pueblo de Guanajuato, México, y se casaron en 1976. Juntos, formaron una familia de cinco hijos que se convirtieron en su mayor orgullo y alegría.
En 1978, Saúl emprendió su viaje a Estados Unidos con el objetivo de brindar un futuro mejor a sus seres queridos. Su determinación y resiliencia le dieron la oportunidad de comenzar una nueva etapa en 1994, cuando reunió a su familia en Carpentersville, Illinois, donde establecerían su hogar.
Un hombre trabajador, Saúl trabajó como operador de maquinaria durante muchos años. Era conocido por su fortaleza, humildad y confiabilidad; siempre con una presencia tranquila y firme que anteponía las necesidades de los demás a las suyas. Desinteresado hasta su último aliento, vivió cada día con resiliencia y una gracia serena.
Saúl encontraba alegría en las pequeñas bendiciones de la vida. Le encantaba cuidar su jardín, pasar tiempo con su familia y, sobre todo, atesorar los momentos del nacimiento de sus nietos. La alegría en su rostro al abrazarlos por primera vez demostraba la profundidad de su amor, y continuó mimándolos a medida que crecían.
Siempre será recordado como un padre increíble que amó, cuidó y protegió a sus hijos y nietos. Todo lo que Saúl hizo en su vida fue por su familia, y su legado de amor y sacrificio vivirá para siempre en sus corazones.
A Saúl le precedió en la muerte su padre, Juan Castillo Ruiz. Le sobreviven su esposa, Carolina Castillo; sus hijos, Rosa Lilia, Juan (Sonia) Manuel, Saúl (Liliana) Castillo, Miriam (Luis) Castillo y Ana (Roberto) Castillo; su madre, Mariana Montoya; sus hermanos, Ema, Refugio, Rubén, Elva y Ramiro; y nietos, Saúl, Daniela, Ariana, Mariana, Josué, Mariel, Adrián, Fernando, Damián, Alek, Gael y Remmy.

Saul Castillo, age 73, of Carpentersville, IL, passed away on September 21, 2025. He was born March 11, 1952 in Guanajuato, Mexico to his loving parents, Juan Castillo Ruiz and Mariana Montoya.
Saul was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather whose life was defined by love, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication to his family. He met the love of his life, Carolina Garcia, in a small town in Guanajuato, Mexico, and they were married in 1976. Together, they built a family of five children who became his greatest pride and joy.
In 1978, Saul began his journey to the United States with the goal of providing a better future for his loved ones. His determination and resilience led to a new chapter in 1994, when he reunited his family in Carpentersville, IL, where they would make their home.
A hardworking man, Saul worked as a machine operator for many years. He was known for his strength, humility, and reliability-always a quiet, steady presence who put the needs of others before his own. Selfless until his last breath, he lived each day with resilience and quiet grace.
Saul found joy in life's simple blessings. He loved tending to his garden in the backyard, spending time with his family, and especially treasuring the moments when his grandchildren were born. The joy on his face when he held each of them for the first time showed the depth of his love, and he continued to dote on them as they grew.
He will always be remembered as an amazing father who loved, cherished, and protected his children and grandchildren. Everything Saul did in his life was for his family, and his legacy of love and sacrifice will live on in their hearts forever.
Saul was preceded in death by his father, Juan Castillo Ruiz. He is survived by his wife, Carolina Castillo; children, Rosa Lilia, Juan (Sonia) Manuel, Saul (Liliana) Castillo, Miriam (Luis) Castillo, and Ana (Roberto) Castillo; mother, Mariana Montoya; siblings, Ema, Refugio, Ruben, Elva, and Ramiro; and grandchildren, Saul, Daniela, Ariana, Mariana, Josue, Mariel, Adrian, Fernando, Damian, Alek, Gael, and Remmy.
Visitation will be 5:00pm to 9:00pm, Thursday, September 25, 2025, and 9:30am to 10:30am, Friday, September 26, 2025, at Kahle-Moore Funeral Home, 403 Silver Lake Road, Cary, IL 60013.
Mass will be at 11:00am, Friday, September 26, 2025 at St. Monica Church, 90 N. Kennedy Drive, Carpentersville, IL 60110. Fr. Lisandro Cristancho will be officiating.
