Anthony Castillo

Baby Anthony Raymond Castillo passed peacefully into the arms of Jesus from the comfort of his mother's womb on May 23, 2016 at Lovelace Regional Hospital Roswell, NM. He never drew a breath in this world as he entered it at 7:25 P.M. on May 23, 2016. The following day his loving father Ricardo Tomas Castillo and his Loving mother Jozi Rae Jacobo were able to nestle their precious baby boy in their arms for the first and last time. Baby Anthony's parents were blessed with the most unforgettable and heartrending hour holding him close and telling him he will be carried in their hearts forever and always. One hour they will treasure for the rest of their lives. The most joyful memory is of naming their child, holding his little hand in theirs, and bestowing gentle kisses on his precious face. They used up every moment of that hour to let him know just how much he is deeply loved and how empty six pounds 12 ounces and 19 1/2 inches is going to feel. They told him how he will be greatly missed by all who excitedly waited for his arrival.

The love for Baby Anthony Raymond will continue to grow bigger and stronger with each passing day through the hearts of his siblings who survive him, Nathaniel Paul Castillo, Izabelle Rae Jacobo, Azrialle LuRae Jacobo-Castillo, Ezariaha Marie Castillo and Izreal Tomas Castillo. His brothers and sisters will cherish his precious memory every day.

When God called Baby Anthony Raymond home to heaven, waiting for him with the open arms of love was his beloved paternal grandmother who preceded him in death, Terry Tina Castillo. He will forever be in the arms of an angel.

He is survived by his paternal grandfather, Eddie Vallejos. His maternal grandparents, Jesse and Gina Jacobo, tenderly known as "Appo" and "Ga'gam" to their adored grandchildren, his Uncle Jonny Jacobo, his Aunt Jerika "Bob" Jacobo. His Uncles E.J. Castillo, Daniel Castillo and Joe Castillo as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and loved ones who are left here to treasure his memory.
