Don Sexton Family, my sincere condolences to you. I have memories of Don visiting my Dad, Jim Cooper, when you boys were small. Much talk about coonhunting and horses.This was before our family’s owned a telephone. We were blessed with good dads who loved and cared for us. I lost my dad in 1991, he was 57, and not a day goes by that I miss talking to him. Hang onto your memories and the knowing you will see him again someday. I pray that God spreads a blanket of love and comfort over you. Amen

Don and I were classmates during our years at Bakersfield H.S. He had many friends and was very much a part of the good memories we all still share. I was saddened to learn of his passing but very proud to have known him and to call him my friend. My very best to Venetta and families.
