Severo Copado, a beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and resident of Galveston, Texas, passed away on March 14, 2024, at the age of 86. He was a devoted family man, a dedicated longshoreman, and a passionate Dallas Cowboys fan.

Born on February 1, 1938, Severo attended Kirwin High School, where he was an avid football player. His passion for the game was evident both on and of the field. He played with heart, determination, and a fierce loyalty to his team with whom he made lifelong friendships and cherished memories. He was also a faithful member of the Knights of Columbus.

For over 40 years Severo worked as a longshoreman for the International Longshoremen's Association ILA. His dedication to his profession and his unwavering work ethic earned him the respect or colleagues and friends alike.

Severo leaves behind a legacy of love and commitment. His six children-Annie Alfaro. Herminia (Roman) de los Santos, Valentine (Mike) Flores, Michael Copado, Yvonne (Armand) Guerra, and Joann Copado will forever carry his memory in their hearts. His 15 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, and 4 great-great­grandchildren will remember him as a kind and devoted patriarch.

Severo was the last of nine brothers to pass, reuniting with his beloved wife Valentine Copado in heaven. Their love story continues beyond this life and their spirits will forever dance together among the stars.

As we bid farewell to Severo, we celebrate a life well-lived, a man who worked tirelessly, loved deeply, and cheered passionately for his Dallas Cowboys. May his memory be a beacon of strength and inspiration for all who knew him.

Rest in peace. Severo Copado. Your legacy lives on in the hearts of those who loved you.

A Vigil will be held at 2:00pm with visitation to follow the service until 4:00pm.
