He is survived by his wife, Bennie (Maria Benita Espinoza) whom he married March 31, 1956 in Fort Collins, CO. They celebrated 61 years of married life together. They had three children, Virginia (Bernie) Trujillo, Sandie (Cliff) Ceimet and John Benjamin Castellanos.

John's passion for cars pushed him towards a career as a Mechanic/Inspector Trainer in the Transportation Department at Public Service Company of Colorado. He retired in 1994 after thirty plus years of service.
John loved his 1975 Corvette, listening to music, traveling and most importantly, his family.
