Alejandro was born in Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico to Juan Castillo and Maria Juana Monjaraz on
May 13, 1975. He went to school in Leon. He graduated from Escuela Secundaria General #2.
He helped manage a restaurant, El Pollo Cachuchon for over 10 years. That’s where his love for
cooking came from. He also worked as a Crew leader for RCW for 3 years. He received the
highest safety award any one in his job has ever received. Only two people have received that
recognition.
Alejandro worked in the oil field in East Texas. When not working Alejandro enjoyed spending
time with his children, he enjoyed working on his trucks, he would love to cook, enjoyed fishing,
but most of all he had a very deep passion for sports. He was a die-heart Dallas Cowboys fan.
However, when it came to soccer his heart was split in half between the team he grew up to
watch Pumas, and the team from the city in which he was born in, Leon. When Alejandro would
get on the grill you knew you were in for a treat, specially if he cooked his favorite dish, grilled
chicken in mesquite charcoal. Alejandro will be remembered as a loving father, a great son and
a wonderful and kind person by all the people he crossed paths with throughout the community
and his jobs.
Alejandro is survived by 3 children: son, Christian Castillo and his wife Nidya Chavez , daughter,
Valeria Castillo, son, Steven Castillo. Brothers and sisters: sister, Angeles Castillo, sister,
Aurora Castillo, sister, Juana Maria Castillo, brother, Juan Antonio Castillo, brother, Guillermo
Castillo, brother, Jose Luis Castillo, brother, Arturo Adan Perez, and sister, Luz Adriana Perez.
