Not sure what to say?

Coach, you will be missed by many. I was lucky enough to meet you at Hugh Morson and follow you to Enloe High School where you coached me on the football and baseball teams. You will be missed.

I just found out about this and am sad for the passing of a great man. You were such a wonderful example of what school coaches and instructors should be for their students. After all these year after leaving Enloe, I still remember the coach with great admiration that represents what a special man the coach was and how he made a difference in our lives. I am so glad I knew him. He was always so kind to me. RIP coach and enjoy the reunion with your family and friends in Heaven.

Sorry to hear about Coach Sexton, he was a great coach and friend

It is with mixed emotions that I try to say good bye to such a wonderful Coach, teacher, mentor, and friend. Coach Sexzon was the perfect example of what a man is supposed to be..strong yet humble..tough yet caring, and I think that is what has kept most of his students in touch with him up to the end. He was truly a gentle gentleman. Gonna miss you coach but I know you will be reunited with your beloved wife and hopefully look down and smile on what you did for so many people for so long. ...

Susan & family, I am very sorry for loss.

Shirley, peace and prayers to you at your brother's passing, and also to his children and grandchildren. Helen Tugwell, Raleigh
