JOSE SERRATO CASTILLO SAN JUAN - Jose Serrato Castillo, 86, went home to our Lord, March 28, 2022, in Conroe, Texas. He was born in General Zaragoza, Nuevo Leon, Mexico.

Mr. Castillo was preceded in death by his parents, Arcadio and Julia Castillo; two brothers, Pedro Castillo and Alejandro Castillo; three sisters, Maria Castillo De La Rosa, Vicenta Castillo Arreazola, and Tomasa Castillo; a son-in-law, Oscar R. Cardenas. He was an honest, hardworking, noble gentleman who enjoyed taking flowers for his wife, hunting, fishing, playing cards and was always open to a game of Chalupa. He was known for his gentle soul and although he was soft-spoken, he had a witty sense of humor. He loved the outdoors and developed a love of drawing.

José Serrato Castillo, de 86 años de edad, fue a casa de nuestro Señor, el 28 de marzo de 2022, en Conroe, Texas. Nació en General Zaragoza, Nuevo León, México. A finales de los años 70, se mudó de California a Pharr, luego a San Juan antes de establecerse en Conroe. Era un amoroso esposo, padre, abuelo, bisabuelo, hermano y amigo. Fue un caballero honesto, trabajador y noble que nunca se le olvidaba llevarle flores a su pareja. Disfrutaba de la caza, la pesca, el juego de barajas y siempre estaba listo para un juego de Chalupa. Era conocido por su alma gentil y, aunque era de voz suave, tenía un ingenioso sentido del humor. Amaba el aire libre y desarrolló un amor por el dibujo. Le preceden en la muerte sus dos hermanos, Pedro Castillo y Alejandro Castillo, sus tres hermanas, María Castillo De La Rosa, Vicenta Castillo Arreazola y Tomasa Castillo. A José le sobreviven su devota y amorosa esposa de 64 años, Josefina Pedraza Castillo; hijas, Dora (+Oscar) Cárdenas de Conroe; Julia (Edgar) Pérez de Conroe; su hijo Jaime Castillo (Patty) de New Braunfels; 4 nietos; Christina (Roy) Taylor de Colorado, Jessica (Marco) Barbato de The Woodlands, Amanda Pérez de Austin, Johann Castillo de New Braunfels; 6 bisnietos: Magdalena, River, Titus y Ofelia Taylor; Ardriana y Valentina Barbato y sus dos hermanas, Trinidad Vargas de Crosby y Severa Castillo de México.
