Freddy A Castrillon's Obituary
Con profundo dolor anunciamos el fallecimiento de Freddy A Castrillón, nuestro amado esposo, padre y abuelo, quien partió el 13 de febrero de 2026 en Ruskin, Florida, a la edad de 70 años, tras una valiente lucha contra el cáncer.
Nació el 21 de agosto de 1955 en San Jerónimo, Antioquia, Colombia. Llegó a este país con el sueño de construir un mejor futuro para su familia y, con esfuerzo y sacrificio, les brindó una vida hermosa llena de amor y oportunidades.
Fue el esposo de Maria Piedad Castrillón, padre de Lina Ruiz (George Ruiz) y Carlos Castrillón (Adriana Castrillón), y abuelo de Paris, Luna, Camila y Daniela, a quienes adoraba profundamente.
Será recordado por su hermosa sonrisa que iluminaba cualquier lugar, su alegre sentido del humor, su generosidad, su fe firme, su amor por la salsa clásica y los tangos argentinos, y su pasión por el fútbol — especialmente por Atlético Nacional y Real Madrid.
Su legado de amor, fe y dedicación a su familia vivirá por siempre en todos los que lo conocieron.
En lugar de flores, la familia agradece donaciones en memoria de Freddy Castrillón, las cuales serán destinadas a LifePath Hospice Sun City Center Hospice House (Ruskin, FL, US) en su nombre.
