It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Santa Severino on December 9, 2024, in New Haven, Connecticut. Santa was born on July 13, 1970, and lived a life filled with laughter, love, and a whole lot of mischief.

Known for their jolly demeanor and love for spreading cheer, Santa was a beloved member of their community. Their bright red suit, long white beard, and signature "Ho, ho, ho!" will be dearly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing them.

In addition to their gift-giving duties around the holidays, Santa was also a dedicated parent to their child, Eric Garcia. Santa loved nothing more than seeing the joy on Eric's face during Christmas morning, knowing that their hard work had paid off in the form of smiles and laughter.

Although Santa may no longer be with us, their spirit will live on in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to know and love them. Rest in peace, Santa Severino. May your sleigh always be full of cookies and your reindeer be forever on time.
