There are no words that can adequately describe the loss of a son. For John Castillo, though, talking about his son Kendrick is therapeutic.
Kendrick died while trying to defend his classmates from shooters who entered STEM School Highlands Ranch.
Castillo and his wife, Maria, visit Kendrick’s grave every day to talk to him and bring fresh flowers. They haven’t returned to work. The couple is still in shock over the loss of their only son.
“I didn’t realize a person could be in shock for three and a half or four months. We’re coming out of it, and the realism of our son not being with us is strong and painful,” Castillo said.
Castillo said he has yet to receive an apology from his son’s shooters or their families. Recently, he took to social media to convey his disappointment he hasn’t received one.
