Loui A. Castillo

On March 1, 2020 Loui A. Castillo passed away at his home after a battle with ALS. He was a young 41 year old who praised God’s goodness every day. He was a blessing to those he met and those who knew him. Loui’s faith allowed him to endure this awful disease with a smile and a shrug. He knew his Maker and hated to leave our family but he was excited to see his Heavenly home where he could walk and talk again. He was a member of Delano Baptist Church and a long-time employee of Waupaca.

He was preceded in death by his mother – Amalia Castillo and his father-in-law and best friend Austin Shadden.

He is survived by his wife of 17 years Susan, and their children Tyler (Breanna) Williams, Jayda and Jazmin. Many other kids that looked up to him as a dad but one in particular, Scarlett Snyder. His mother-in-law Louise Shadden, his father- Alvaro Castillo, lil-sis Maria (Juan) Cortez, brothers Nazario (Nalley), Freddy (Anna), and Edgar Castillo. Sister and brother-in-laws: Jenay (Steve) Wolfe, Melissa Tullock (Scott Rice), Jennifer Menchaca, and Steve Shadden, very special friends: Kris “Squishy” Elliott, Alex Allen, and Caleb Martin. Many special nieces and nephews: Laura (Ethan), Matthew, Nicholas, Isaiah, Axel, Amaida, Tristian, Isabella, Antulio (Auburn), Christian, Emmanual, Skylar, Criss, Juliana, Jesus, Luis, Jolie, Sneider, Elio, Emma, Risa.
