"'You raised me this way. You raised me to be a good person. That’s what I’m doing,'" John Castillo quoted his slain son as saying. "I think I wouldn't be standing here right now, I think I wouldn't be able to tell the stories for how brave Kendrick was, how brave Jackson and Lucas and everybody were because they made that choice to sacrifice themselves so that all of us could go home that night," Giasolli said.
Friend and classmate Kevin Cole said it didn't surprise him at all when he learned Kendrick Castillo put himself into the line of fire.
