A senior at STEM School Highlands Ranch. A teenager with plans ahead of him, a diploma almost within reach, and a future that was supposed to begin in just a few days.On a normal Tuesday afternoon, Kendrick sat in his British literature class, watching The Princess Bride. The room was relaxed. Familiar. Safe. No one expected history to be made in that classroom.Then the door opened.An 18-year-old named Devon Erickson walked in holding a gun and said, “Don’t move.”Fear froze the room.Kendrick was sitting close to him. Close enough to see the danger clearly. Close enough to know there was no time to wait, no time to think, no time to hope someone else would act.And without hesitation, Kendrick stood up.He didn’t look for cover.He didn’t hide.He didn’t wait to be told what to do.He charged.In that instant, Kendrick Castillo made a choice that would define his life forever. He rushed the shooter, trying to stop him, trying to protect the classmates he had laughed with, studied with, grown up beside.He was shot.Three other students followed his lead and tackled the gunman, helping bring the threat under control while the rest of the class escaped. Chaos filled the room. Shouting. Crying. Sirens closing in.After it was over, one of the students, Brendan Bialy, went to check on Kendrick.He wasn’t moving.Classmates pressed on his wound. They begged him to stay. They did everything they could. But Kendrick was gone.His father, John Castillo, later spoke words no parent should ever have to say.“He cared so much about people that he would do something like that,” he said. “I wish he had run and hidden, but that wasn’t who he was. He always wanted to help and protect others.”Brendan said, “Kendrick died a legend. He died a trooper. I know I’ll carry his memory for the rest of my life.”John added, “Be selfless. That’s what my son was. It got him killed, but he saved others. I know because of what he did, others are alive. I thank God for that. I love him. He is a hero, and he always will be.”In a moment of fear and chaos, Kendrick Castillo did not hesitate.He stood up when it mattered most.He acted when others needed time.He gave his life so his classmates could have theirs.Kendrick Castillo2001–2019Gone far too soon.Remembered forever.A hero in every sense of the word.Rest in peace.
