Aurelio Castro

Aurelio Castro April 3, 1956 – February 21, 2025 With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Aurelio Castro, a man whose kindness, warmth, and love for family left an indelible mark on all who knew him. Born on April 3, 1956, in Niñóns, Galicia, Spain, Aurelio carried his love for his homeland in his heart throughout his life, always cherishing his visits back to Spain. Aurelio’s greatest joy was his family. Later in life, he found his soulmate, MariCarmen Mayan, and together, they built a beautiful life filled with love and laughter. Through this union, his family grew to include four children—Luis married to Carine, AnaMaria married to Leo, Laura married to Drew, and Bea—whom he loved deeply. But perhaps his greatest role was being “Abuelo” to his eight cherished grandchildren: Francesca, Joseph, Corinne, Sofia, Jason, Adriana, Jackson, and Maria. Aurelio had a special way of bringing people together, especially around the dinner table. Cooking for his family was his passion, and every meal he prepared was a reflection of his love. There was nothing he valued more than time spent with those he loved, sharing stories, laughter, and good food. To know Aurelio was to know kindness. He was a gentle soul who touched the lives of all who crossed his path. His presence brought comfort, his laughter brought joy, and his love was felt by so many. Though he is no longer with us, we take solace in knowing that he is watching over us, his spirit forever a part of our lives. Aurelio will be deeply missed, but his legacy of love and warmth will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Nacido el 3 de abril de 1956, en Niñóns, Galicia, España, Aurelio llevó su amor por su tierra natal en su corazón durante toda su vida, siempre apreciando sus visitas a España. La mayor alegría de Aurelio era su familia. Más tarde en la vida, encontró a su alma gemela, MariCarmen Mayan, y juntos construyeron una hermosa vida llena de amor y risas. A través de esta unión, su familia creció hasta incluir a cuatro hijos: Luis casado con Carine, AnaMaria casada con Leo, Laura casada con Drew y Bea, a quienes amaba profundamente. Pero tal vez su mejor papel era ser "Abuelo" para sus ocho queridos nietos: Francesca, Joseph, Corinne, Sofía, Jason, Adriana, Jackson y María. Aurelio tenía una forma especial de reunir a la gente, especialmente alrededor de la mesa de la cena. Cocinar para su familia era su pasión, y cada comida que preparaba era un reflejo de su amor. No había nada que valorara más que el tiempo que pasaba con los que amaba, compartiendo historias, risas y buena comida. Conocer a Aurelio era conocer la amabilidad. Era un alma amable que tocaba la vida de todos los que se cruzaban en su camino. Su presencia. trajo consuelo, su risa trajo alegría y su amor fue sentido por muchos. Aunque ya no está con nosotros, nos consuela saber que él nos está cuidando, su espíritu siempre es parte de nuestras vidas. Se echará mucho de menos a Aurelio, pero su legado de amor y calidez vivirá en los corazones de todos los que tuvieron la suerte de conocerlo.
