H.R. No. 65
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The tragic passing of Symon Castillo of Ennis on
July 5, 2017, at the age of 22, has brought a heartbreaking loss to
the family and friends of this beloved young man; and
WHEREAS, Born on June 10, 1995, to Nate Castillo and Emma
Castillo, Symon Castillo grew up with the companionship of his two
sisters, Timpestt and Tatum, and two brothers, R. J. and Channing;
he attended Ennis High School and went on to work as a mechanic at
Dart Container Corporation, where he shared a bond of camaraderie
with his fellow crew members; and
WHEREAS, Fun-loving and full of life, Mr. Castillo enjoyed
playing softball and baseball, and he deeply treasured the time he
spent with his family and friends; he had a radiant smile that
reflected his kind, generous heart, and he inspired those around
him with his humble nature and his genuine concern for others; these
traits led him to make the compassionate decision to register as an
organ donor, and this selfless act ultimately helped several
individuals, including his own father, who had been on a waiting
list for a kidney transplant; and
WHEREAS, Although his journey on this earth ended far too
soon, Symon Castillo made a profound and unforgettable impression
on countless people, and they will forever treasure their memories
of the happy times spent in his company; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the memory
of Symon Castillo and extend deepest condolences to the members of
his family: to his mother, Emma Castillo; to his father, Nate
Castillo, and stepmother, Cindy Castillo; to his siblings, Timpestt
Castillo, Tatum Gallardo and her husband, Tito, R. J. Martinez, and
Channing Castillo; to his "Momo," Rachel Cervantes; to his
grandparents, Richard and Lucy Castillo; to his uncles and aunts,
Oscar and Samantha Cervantes, Arnold Cervantes, Roland Cervantes,
Sammy and Patricia Cervantes, Monica Castillo and Danny Palmer,
Lisa Castillo and Chris Jennings, and Roland Castillo; and to his
other relatives and friends; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for his loved ones and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Symon
Castillo.
