It is with heavy hearts that we share the unexpected passing of Roosevelt Castro on February 5, 2024. Roosevelt leaves behind his wife of 14 years, Marlegnne, as well as their two-year-old son, Ari Roman, and newborn son, Roosevelt Axel, who arrived just two days after his father's departure, on February 7, 2024.

This auction serves to aid Marlegnne Castro as she navigates the challenges of postpartum care and family support during this time of profound loss. The depth of sorrow felt by those close to Roo is beyond words.

As an athlete and professional jiu-jitsu competitor Roo had deep roots in local jiu-jitsu and mixed martial arts communities. In an effort to continue to support the family The local MMA & jiu-jitsu communities have come together to donate signed gear and their own time.

Your kindness and generosity are deeply appreciated. Thank you to our friends, family, and community for your unwavering love and support.
