Joel Gastil

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Joel Christopher Gastil, a man of unwavering spirit and boundless love. Born on December 1971, and residing in Valencia, California for 53 cherished years, Joel's journey came to an end on September 23rd, 2025.

Joel, a dedicated employee at Budweiser, was a man who wore his heart on his sleeve, and his passions inked on his skin. Every tattoo told a story, a testament to his vibrant spirit and love for the art. But his most profound love was reserved for his family. A loving father, Joel's world orbited around his daughter and son. The love he held for them was as infinite as the sky itself, a relationship rooted in profound affection and mutual respect.

Joel's life embodied the essence of this quote by Maya Angelou, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Joel's spirited nature, his dedication, and his loyal love will forever echo in the hearts of those he touched, leaving an indelible mark that will never fade.

The care and services for Joel are under the direction of North Valley Cremation & Funeral Services.
