Jude Castaneda, a beloved member of the San Jose community, passed away recently, leaving his family and friends heartbroken. Known for his kindness, dedication to his family, and remarkable athletic achievements, Jude’s passing has deeply affected those who knew him.
Jude was a graduate of the California School for the Deaf in Fremont, class of 1989, where he became known for his outstanding sportsmanship. He earned a bronze medal in Greco-Roman wrestling at the Deaflympics in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 1989. Jude’s love for sports and his athletic ability were admired by his family and community, but his greatest pride was his four children and his deep connection with his family.
A fundraiser, organized by Priscilla Castaneda, has been created to support the memorial services for Jude. The family, unprepared for the high costs of the funeral, is asking for assistance to cover expenses such as cremation, flowers, transportation, and meals for the services. Donations have started to come in, with Vince Castaneda making the top contribution of $300, and the family is deeply grateful for all the support.
Messages of love and remembrance have poured in from the community. On Facebook, Eloise Aranda shared a heartfelt tribute: "My childhood friend Jude is my classmate at Lyndale Elementary school in San Jose. Prayers for him." Another friend, Natalie Walker, commented, "Give a prayers. I know Jude Castaneda at csdf and as with beautiful wife Dina Guzman and children, pray all of them."
Jude’s faith and love for his family will always be remembered, and his legacy will live on in the memories of those who knew him.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Castaneda family during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
