Not sure what to say?

Sev was a mentor and a great friend of mine. We use to chat regularly and he would keep me laughing. He was such a historian. He would share his knowledge of the true origins of our world and I will cherish his wisdom. May you rest well my brother Lorenzo

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I remember Sevira from our high s chool age days. He was always a gentleman and lots of fun. Good, fond memories of those young days. God bless you on your way, Sevira. Thank you for being a friend.

So from all the old Hoopsters who had the benefit and fun of sharing the court with Sev, thank you my Friend, it was a pleasure and may God bless you always.

I am shocked to hear this. Sev and I were guards on DLS team in 64-65 we went 24-4. Sev was a great friend of mine and we talked often and traded pictures of our families. I was wondering why I haven’t seen or heard from him. Mu condolences to Sev’s family. May he test in peace.

Sevira was ahead of me at De La Salle Institute in Chicago. I remember him as the prototype of today's big guards. My prayers go out to his family, including extended family.

On behalf of the Dwight L Hicks Family, our deepest condolences to the Brown family on their loss of a father, friend, mentor and advisor. He will surely be missed.

Oh my gosh. I'm judt seeing this on Sunday morning. A day late. My heart aches as he and I were friends. It started at Syracuse University and took off from there. We shared our life's experiences. He was full of life. A happy man. I will miss him dearly. My deepest condolences to the family and his close friends.

My condolences to the family. May you find comfort in the best of memories with Sev. I feel blessed to have met Sev while at SU. Before long, he found me and we went to lunch. I could always count on him to speak frankly, share belly laughs- sometimes from a shocking observation he made, or banter about the different fraternity memberships we held. But overall, we shared a love for community and care for each other. For all of this I´m grateful. May he rest in peace and the family live in...
