Severo always wanted to put everything he had into everything he did. He always wanted to make it memorable. He loved to play golf and he hated it when he could no longer play like wanted because of his health. He loved all his poker buddies and the time spent winning all their money. Severo was an avid Dallas Cowboys and Midland High Bulldog fan. He loved going to football and basketball games. He and Olga had season tickets and would attend every game even if they didn’t have any kids or grandkids playing in the band or playing football. He took an active interest with the Grief Share program at Our Lady of Guadalupe after his wife Olga passed away. He was able to meet a lot of great people that helped him. Anyone that knew Severo, knew that he would always be there anytime you needed him.
