Mario's mother Caridad Sevilla was my grandmother's sister.We all grew up in Washington D.C. I remember standing on Mario's back porch with him while he was blasting a Jr. Walker album back when he lived in S.E. We were only a year apart in age.The elders in the family were poker players. Rest in peace  cuz.My sister Connie was close to the 3 Sevilla  boys and Rodolfo. RIP Cuz

Ms Sevilla,Eddie, and Alex,

It was unfortunate to come across this information on Mario. We are family members from Waldorf, Md. We grew up together as children when we all lived in the District of Columbia.We would spend some happy times at our beach house in Benedict. As children, life was innocent, fun, and non-forgettable. We lost touch over the years; we only heard that Mario had retired from the DC Police Force and moved to Florda. We move on with our lives, but the memories are forever. Our sincere condolences to you Ms Sevilla and to our cousins Eddie and Alex. Please relay to Eddie and Alex, that our thoughts and prayers are with them; for sure I know, Mario is in Heaven.

My prayers are with your family in your time of sorrow from my family to your family.

Gabrielle, please accept our condolances. Your husband was always kind to us as we walked and played ball with our dogs up and down 47th Court.  I always appreciated his wave, how he slowed down when he saw us and  his love for Whistler who usually sat on his lap while driving. If you or Alex or Brock need anything, please feel free to call either John or me.

To the family and friends of Mario Sevilla, our thoughts and prayers go out to you.  Mario is a great man and friend and we are better people for having known him.  He was fun and professional to work with at MPDC.  You always knew when he was around because the right decisions were made and action was taken.  He will always be remembered.

To the Sevilla family with Heartfelt Sympathy. Mario was my Lieutenant in SOD and my friend. He treated his officers and everyone with respect and always looked out for us. Such a loss for his entire family, all his friends and MPDC. May all the wonderful memories help to ease the pain. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

To the Sevilla Family, Mario was a wonderful man. We were officers at the First District and later lieutenants at the Fifth District. He always strived for excellence. May God be with you during this time of sorrow.

Twenty eight years ago, Mario Sevilla escorted my best friend on a helicopter ride to a DC hospital because her husband was dying of a gunshot wound. The helicopter didn't make it in time, but the compassion and kindness that he showed her during that time was remarkable. Condolences to Maria and Laurie and the rest of the Sevilla family. The police family in DC will never forget such a kind, compasionate man.

God Bless Lieutenant Sevilla,Mario may you rest in peace. May your  love ones seek seek comfort in GODs' wisdom in he is with GOD.

It is with the greatest sadness that I learned of the news of Mario's untimely passing. I had the privilege to work with Mario for many years in the Fifth District. Some of my fondest memories of working on the MPD were while working for Mario while he was in charge of the 5D Vice Office. Mario was an excellent supervisor, a good friend to everyone, and one of the finest policemen I have had the privilege to work with . God bless you Mario, and God bless your family.

He was a fair and honest, hard working officer and official with the MPDC at 3D.

To the Sevilla family, I was very saddened to hear of your loss. Mario was liked and respected by all that knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

What a pleasure it was to work with Mario at MPDC. He set a tradition of honesty and integrity for all to follow. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Sevilla family, his daughters, sons and brothers. Memories last for ever, and thoughts of you will always put a smile on my face.

Mario was one of the finest leaders the DC Police Department had. Mario was was always thoughtful of so many others. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Sevilla family,his brothers, and all of his children.

This is a deep lost for the MPD family 1987, 1988 5D Vice Unit. He was the Best supervisor any one could have. My thoughts and prayers goes out to the Sevilla family. 

                                                                         Donald Bell
