Honoring Seve's Generosity in Hard Times

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Seve Cortes — a beloved son, brother, and friend to so many in the Tampa community. Seve built a wide and diverse network of friends over the years, touching countless lives with his humor, generosity, and unwavering loyalty.

If you knew Seve, you knew joy. He had a way of lighting up every room he entered — always the life of the party, always cracking a joke, always making people feel seen and loved. He had a one-of-a-kind ability to make people laugh, even in the toughest moments, and was the first to lend a hand or give the shirt off his back to someone in need.

Seve fell ill suddenly, and with very little time to prepare, his passing has left an emotional and financial burden on his family. His mother and sister are now facing unexpected medical bills and funeral costs, and they need our help.

We are reaching out to Seve’s extended circle — friends, classmates, coworkers, and community — to ask for support during this heartbreaking time. Every donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward covering Seve’s funeral expenses and outstanding medical costs. If you are unable to give, sharing this campaign would mean the world to his family.

Let’s honor Seve the way he lived — with love, laughter, and a community that shows up for one another. Thank you for keeping Seve and his family in your thoughts.

With love and gratitude
