Romy Casto

Born in Chula Vista, CA. Romy was the child of Edward Casto and Lucia Casto. Romy Casto, a beloved son, brother, cousin, friend, father, and grandfather, passed away at just 52 years old — far too soon, long before any of us were ready. Romy was loved by family, friends, and the Magnolia, TX community where he grew up and Marquez, TX community where he lived. His loss leaves an ache in the places where his laughter, his presence, and his steady way of moving through the world once lived. There were still plans on the table, still things to build, still life ahead that we thought we had more time for. Romy was known for his dry, witty, and unmistakably sharp sense of humor. He had a way of dropping a comment so subtle and clever that it took a second to land — and then you’d be laughing, shaking your head, saying, “That was Romy.” His humor wasn’t loud; it was smart, quick, and perfectly timed. He was hands on in the truest sense. If something needed doing, he didn’t make a big production out of it — he just got to work. He liked being useful, being involved, and putting his skills to good use. He helped in the ways that felt natural to him: fixing things, building things, showing someone how to do something the right way. It was simple, steady, and real — just like him. Romy had a solid work ethic and a practical way of approaching life. He wasn’t perfect — and he’d be the first to joke about that — but he was genuine. Real. The kind of person who made an impact simply by being himself. As a dad, Romy brought his own style — steady, present in the ways that mattered, and always himself. And becoming a grandfather added a new chapter to his life. It wasn’t always easy, and it wasn’t always simple, but it was meaningful. He showed up in the way he knew how, with the same quiet warmth and sharp humor that shaped so much of his life. And anyone who knew Romy knew he had a little spark of adventure — and just enough mischief to keep things interesting. Whether he was trying something new, stirring the pot with a perfectly timed comment, or finding his own way of doing things, he brought a spirit that made life around him a little less predictable and a lot more memorable. Romy leaves behind a legacy built on presence, laughter, and the countless ways he touched the people around him. He will be deeply missed, forever remembered, and always loved.
