Luis Antonio Castro Rodriguez

We announce with heavy hearts the passing of Luis Antonio Castro Rodriguez, lovingly known as Lucho, on May 21, 2025. Born on June 25, 1940, in Bogotá, Colombia, Luis lived a life marked by compassion, creativity, and dedication, leaving a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Luis was a man of many talents and deep passions, with an unwavering love for his hometown of Bogotá and his favorite soccer team, Millonarios FC. His creative spirit was evident in his work and hobbies — he found great joy as both a machinist and a carpenter. His dedicated service as a Security Aide in Environmental Services further reflected his lifelong commitment to the well-being of others. After spending most of his life in Colombia, he made his home in Revere, Massachusetts in 2006, where he continued to touch lives with his kindness and wisdom.

Luis was a devoted husband to Maria Rico, his wife of 55 years, and a loving father to Fernando, Felipe, Carlos, Danny, and Omar Castro. He is also remembered by his first wife, Maria Teresa Malgon, and his brother, Jairo Castro. In addition, he is survived by many cherished relatives and friends. His wife, Maria, was his anchor and source of strength, and his five sons were his greatest pride. His Catholic faith and spirituality guided him throughout his life, offering comfort and peace during times of uncertainty.

Luis was predeceased by his parents, Alejandro Castro and Isabel Rodriguez.

A Visitation will be held at Paul Buonfiglio & Sons Funeral Home, 128 Revere St., Revere, on Saturday, May 24, 2025, from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Relatives and friends are kindly invited to attend.
