Anthony “Tony” Sexton joined God on Wednesday, October 17, 2018 in Houston, TX after a yearlong battle against glioblastoma brain cancer. Tony was born on June 26, 1949 in York, PA to his parents Margaret G. and John B. Sexton. He was a son, sibling, husband, father, athlete, football coach, entrepreneur and educator, all worthy of emulation. His nickname “Champ” was well deserved.
He is survived by his loving and devoted wife Monica F. Sexton, his sons Anthony O. and Phillip J. Sexton, son-in-law Joseph Papotto and daughter-in-law Dawn Sexton. He is also survived by siblings Barbara Wood, Phyllis Moultry, Margo Sexton, Virgie Milton, Louella Morgan, William Sexton, Otto Sexton and a host of other family and friends. His grandchildren are Jillian Singleton, Reyna Papotto, Gian Papotto, Jesse Papotto and Zachary Sexton. Tony Sexton joins his parents, daughter Kelly Papotto and brothers John “Sonny” Sexton, Santo Sexton and Clairvan Sexton in eternal paradise.
Tony Sexton, our Champ, is deeply loved and missed. His amazing life and ascent to Heaven will forever be cherished!
