Lincoln Castricone passed away Wednesday July 19th, 2023 in Columbus, Ohio after a period of illness. He died peacefully surrounded by loved ones. Lincoln was born in 1941 in Los Angeles, California and grew up in Chicago, Illinois and Columbus, Ohio. His parents, Alfonso Castricone and Martha Wheeler, were both Columbus natives, a city in which his family has deep roots in community service and social justice activism. He took great pride in his family’s role in the Godman Guild, a non-profit that has served Columbus families since 1898. Lincoln was a man of many talents and interests. He loved jazz, classical music, the great books, photography, and art. He spent much of the later part of his life dedicated to his passion for photography and created a large collection of work taken during his travels throughout the United States. He was deeply involved in his 12-step community and celebrated 42 years of sobriety before his death. He worked as a psychologist for years, serving marginalized communities in the prison system as well as in private practice. Lincoln will be greatly missed by his family and community. Lincoln is now joining his son, Alex, who passed away in 2006. He is survived by his children Amy, Sofia, Celeste, and Mark, as well as his sister Mara. He is remembered by his grandchildren Madeleine, Dylan, Elan, Alena, & Max. Lincoln is loved by the hundreds of people whose lives he has touched over the years and was a dear friend to many. He maintained his penchant for humor and sarcasm until his last moments. Lincoln, we love you and we miss you dearly. We also know you will continue to be with.
