From all your colleagues at MK-Ferguson Company, Morrison Knudsen Corporation, Washington Group International, URS Corporation, and AECOM - We will always remember you and never forget you Joe as it was a great pleasure to know you and work with you for all those years! 

Joe was my neighbor back in the mid-eighties. He was so very friendly and had a slew of dark-haired beautiful daughters. He and my soon-to-be husband were friends and had worked together in another city. After my husband moved to Augusta, Joe took the liberty of introducing us and the rest. as they say, was history. We’ve been married 35 years!!  We will certainly miss Joe’s wit and great smile. Fly high, my friend! Becky & Ron Beul

Never a dull moment with Joe. Just a chut'-chut'. 

Umpa was loved by each and everyone he came into contact with. He will forever live on in our hearts.

Joey - it was a joy and an honor to know you.  You brought so much love and happiness to us all.  You will be missed. 
Much love “Aunt Judy” 

Blessed to have known him.  I still see him blasting Cheap Trick and singing into the TV antenna, circa 1981?  So many sweet memories, such a big loss to all who love him, God bless.  Till we meet again my friend 😘

We met joe and his family in 1976. We fell in love with his family ! We had so much in common with his family. Don and joe worked different jobs but we had such a connection. Missouri.. Georgia. It didn’t matter we were family. Our kids were so close in age that we even had delivery’s on the same time. We traveled together we camped together we canoed together we laughed together we loved together! He was a joy to be around. Smiling,laughing and loving his family! We miss his joy and laughter and calling us all the “lee” family. Love to Angela,Ashley,Katie,Ev,and Tonya

I remember Joey as a young boy in Aiken, SC and later in Titusville FL, also a visit to our family in Rio and to Myrtle Beach with Tatyana and Joanna. He was always happy and fun. Glad I got to know him and his family. God be with him, love you, Sue Sexton Flatow.

All those years ago! Joe sporting his best early 1970s style!
Peace and Love,
Karen


 First met Joe on his first trip to Kiev and then a lot of times after. Had some really good times together. Used to listen to his favorite football team via internet in Pavlograd with him, --lot of fun. Joe was a good guy!!!!!

The thing I hate the most about death is all of our firsts. The first time we change out of the clothes we were wearing the moment you stopped living. The first time we look at your body and it’s not you anymore. The first time we open our eyes to a day that the one we love is not here to see. The first time we are alone and it’s quiet. So very quiet. It’s overwhelming.

The thing that I love the most about death is all of your firsts. The first time you step out of your clothes here on Earth and into the robes given to you by God, and started living. The first time you look at your body and realize you don’t hurt anymore. The first time you open your eyes to see the Kingdom of Heaven and Jesus standing in front of you. And in Heaven,  it’s never quiet. There is always singing. Songs of love and joy. It’s overwhelming. 

Those are the firsts I choose to hang on to. The ones I cannot see but my heart can feel. They let me know you’re okay. 

 I love you Daddy.

I love you cousin Joey! When I think of you, I think of your love for your family, fishing, and Gamecocks! Such great memories of all of us being together in Palm Coast, at football games, and family events. You loved our Mamaw so much and now you and her can dance once again 💖. You loved your whole family that way too and you are one of the kindest people I will ever know.  Thank you for your love and kindness. Love you, Maria ❤️✨

Ev, Angela, Katie, and Ashley
I am saddened by hearing this. I pray for peace over each of you. And comfort that only our Heavenly Father can give.
So many memories with the Sexton Family. My teenage years were spent with this family. My favorite memory of Joe. Angela and I had not had our  driver’s license for long. He wanted to go with us somewhere. Angela, Joe and myself entered the entrance ramp on Lovell Road at approximately 100 mph. He expressed so many colorful words in that 5 seconds of my life. Never Ever a dull moment with that crew. Some of my fondest memories. 
Sending hugs and lots of love
Tammy Martin


I love you Umpaw.  I know you're catching fish and rooting for the Gamecocks, somewhere! Someday we’ll be able to do it together again. 

No kinder, more humble, more thoughtful man ever walked this earth. He spread happiness wherever he went. His smile lit up
every conversation that he held with others. He was fun, he was love and he will be sorely missed by all!
Uncle Jim and Patty

Two of the greatest men and even greater friends!!!! We love you so so so much umpaw fly high and continue to watch over us. GO GAMECOCKS!!!!

Two of the greatest men!!!  We love you umpaw go gamecocks

I was able to know and work with Joe for almost 40 years. We worked together and shared experiences at several locations in the US and internationally. 
The thing that most people remember and comment about Joe was his smile and happy disposition. I knew that no matter what the issue of the day was Joe could somehow make it seem better. He could give you one of his” Bless Your Heart” and things didn’t seem so bad. He would also take on any assignment thrown his way and make the best of it. During our years together he was everything from an inspector to Quality Assurance to Office Administration to Site Manager and he did them all well.
Josephs’ Professionalism and happy disposition left his legacy wherever he went. I know he made a lot of friends and impressions while working in Russia and Ukraine and no matter what happens in the world, those people will always remember Joes smile.
Me Kathy and our family offer our sincere condolences to Tanya, Katie and all of your family. I know there are many sad hearts right now but remember all the good and happiness that Joe has left behind and try and smile when you think about him.
The world is a little poorer today because he is gone but is a much better place because he was with us.


Sending my deepest sympathy to Tanya and JoAnna,  Angela, Kathryn, Ashley and their mother Ev, and Jack and his family.  So many thoughts are with you all and your loved ones. I will always remember my dear cousin Joe as the most thoughtful, caring and kindest person. I have so many wonderful memories of spending time with "Joey" and my cousins in South Carolina. As teens, we had some of the best fun listening to music, singing, playing guitars and just being together. No matter how many miles between us, we always shared a special bond. Rest peacefully Joe.  Love, Karen

I loved talking with Joe on the phone. We had many great conversations! He loved Tatyana and his family dearly. My prayers are with you. Lynda@ Lake Murray Flower Shoppe

You were the best man in the whole world. I love you!

Tatyana

Good bye to one of the sweetest men I have ever met.  Prayers to all during this difficult time.

Fly high my sweet brother in law.  Until we meet again.❤

Little Brother, our earthly journey has ended. We have been together for almost 70 years and what a Blessing it has been.  We have done a lot and shared a lot and I am Grateful to have had such a Great Brother as you.  You used to tell me that I taught you many things, but in reality you taught me also.  A true Blessing indeed. You will be missed my Little Brother but Never Forgotten.  I will promise you that I will follow Gamecock Nation in your Honor even when they play my LSU Tigers.  My Love goes out to Tonya and your Daughter Jo Anna and Ashley, Katherine, Angela, and their Mother Eve.  May God Bless all and may he give us the strength and courage to continue our journey here on Earth.
A Loving Brother,
Jack Sexton

I am sadden to hear the news of my friend Joe's passing. We worked together, fished together, drank beer together, and most of all we laughed together. My thoughts and prayers to the entire Sexton family. Joe will surely be missed.

There were just too many memories of my good friend and business partner.  He’s the only one who could acknowledge “puke” as a revered nickname, lend out his new firebird to those drinking at Sockies for test spins, fall backward off of his chair in Ft. Apache at Callaway and never miss a word while carrying on a telephone conversation, and rock a pink tutu while stopping in a gas station on his way to our Halloween party! Rest in peace my friend and prayers to the family. Dave Dunning

I remember Joe always coming to Hair Visions cookouts, he fried the fish and hushpuppies with my husband as we all laughed, joked and talked about past memories.
Joe was there at most of our Christmas parties talking with my husband and watching us make more memories.

We also had the best time at Folly Beach with Joe and Tatyana having Bloody Mary's and walking the side walk and pier. 
Joe was a devoted husband and father, he will truly be missed.
Prayers to Tatyana at this time.
Marlene Hollomon

I have no words…….thoughts and prayers to each of the family memories as you go through the grieving process.  

My sincere condolence’s and prayers for the entire Sexton family! It was my great pleasure to have known Joe and to have been a small part of his life. Joe was a model of a father, friend and loving person! I will miss you my friend, see you in the next life!

Dear Tatyana:
We are so sorry to hear about Joe. Our prayers go up and out to you. Please let us know if you need anything. Call us any time.

Love Margie and Bob Brown


Tonya,
We are all here for you! We are so grateful to you for allowing us to be with you and Dad on Sunday.  It was gracious and kind of you to share that moment with us. We love you and so does Dad! 

My sincerest condolences to you all! I love you very much!

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Joe Sexton, father to three tremendously strong, happy, and beautiful daughters. Joe loved life, had a ready smile, and made you feel special. He will always be treasured and loved. I’m proud to have known him and consider him family. God bless you, Joe!

I love you Dad. I’m going to miss you so much.  Thank you for all the love you gave us. My heart is filled with a lifetime of memories that I will treasure until I see you again. Thanks for being my Dad.
