2026 began with deeply painful news for Fernanda Castillo. The Mexican actress, internationally recognized for playing Monica Robles for five seasons in Telemundo’s hit superseries El señor de los cielos, is going through one of the most difficult moments of her life after the death of her father.
The loss has moved not only his family, but also fans and colleagues who have accompanied his artistic career over the years.
Although Fernanda has not made public statements so far, it was her brother, Pablo Castillo, who announced the news through social networks, where he shared an emotional and extensive farewell message dedicated to whom he described as “the best father” he could have had.
Fernanda Castillo in mourning: A tribute from her brother
In his publication, Pablo Castillo accompanied his words with a video that compiles different moments and photographs of his father, remembering him as a resilient, curious and deeply human man. In his message, he described him as someone who faced unimaginable blows and difficulties, always with the illusion of walking again on his own and of being able to carry his grandson Liam, whom he affectionately called “Liám”.
The actress’s brother also evoked the memories shared around long games of marathon, a game in which, he said, he never managed to beat him. For him, his father was “the best marathon player in history,” a man of vast knowledge and restless mind, able to talk about history, physics, philosophy, sports, literature and opera with the same passion.
Pablo noted that his father was a doctor by profession, but also a tireless explorer of life. Over the years, he was interested in multiple paths: he was a Tibetan monk, a painter, a pool diver and a creator of worlds through art. In his paintings, he explained, he constructed spaces where physical limitations disappeared and where the people he loved were always near.
For the Castillo family, art was an extension of his father’s love, a way of remaining present and filling the lives of those around him with color. His stubbornness, his kindness and his enormous heart were traits that Pablo never failed to highlight, describing him as a just, generous and deeply committed man.
A farewell that transcends absence
In the final part of his message, Pablo addressed his father directly, wishing him freedom and peace. He asked him to now run, fly and enjoy without limits, but not to stop visiting him in his dreams and in his own flights. With words full of love and gratitude, he closed his farewell by reaffirming the eternal bond that unites them.
So far, Fernanda Castillo has not shared any public message about the loss of her father. Her silence has been respected by her followers, who have expressed messages of support and condolences through social networks. In the midst of mourning, the actress faces this beginning of the year surrounded by the affection of her family and the respect of those who recognize the depth of this moment.
