Obituary For Jose "JoJo" Castillon

Jose “JoJo” Castillon passed away peacefully, surrounded by those that loved him most, on Wednesday November 16th, 2022. He was 52 years old.

Jose is survived by his loving wife of 19 years, Rene Castillon, his two daughters Zoei and Kyla Castillon and his son Dallas Goodman. His father Gilberto Castillon, brother Savino Herrera, sister Maria A. Ruybal and many nieces and nephews, all of which he played a significant part in their lives. He was preceded in death by his beloved mother Katy Castillon, and sisters Rita Doyle, Jennie Maldonado, and Martina Herrera.

Jose was a devoted husband, father, son, brother, uncle, coach and friend. He lived his entire life in Union City. Jose worked for Kaiser Permanente as a store keeper II for over 27 years. Jose graduated from James Logan High School, class of 1988. He was an athlete and was on the Varsity Football and Wrestling Team.

He dedicated his free time to coaching. In his early 20’s he coached his nephew Paul Maldonado, which sparked his coaching journey. He coached his daughters Zoei and Kyla’s softball teams as well as his son Dallas in baseball and basketball. Jose would eventually mentor countless kids within his 25 year coaching span. Jose or ‘Hoss”, as he was known by his camp family, spent many summers as a camp counselor and director at YMCA camp Loma Mar in the Santa Cruz mountains.

Jose was a lifelong Raiders fan. He enjoyed spending time with his family. He loved going to the movies, playing board games and card games. He was a trivia fan and always welcomed a great conversation. He was known for his big, compassionate heart, his contagious laugh, his amazing sense of humor and his competitive personality. He will be immensely missed.

    My memory of JoJo go to when his Mom and I would talk about our boys. Mike and JoJo and their friends have been there for each other for so many years. I know we will all continue to share memories in the future.

    I originally met JoJo in Sunday school at OLR, but we became friends in high school over football and wrestling and stayed in touch thereafter. He was a good man that thought, cared and helped others in his life and he will be missed. Best wishes to his surviving family.
