Blue Sexton Obituary

Blue D. Sexton, 32, April 26, 1973 - May 18, 2005. Our beloved Blue, there are no words to describe the greatness of Blue's heart. He had the most beautiful, loving, caring, giving heart. Blue's heart continues to beat in all that love him. His greatness of strength and courage goes on. May Blue's life continue to bring God Glory as the essence of his spirit lives eternally through all that are blessed to have been touched by him, each in our own special ways. Survived by daughter Nalani; girlfriend Noemi; mother Deborah; sisters Brook and Kim; brothers Brett, Blaze and Jeff; nieces Bliss and Sky; nephew Raine; father Thomas (Brenda); stepbrother Andrew; grandmother Barbara; aunts, uncles, cousins, and many friends. May the light that once shown through his beautiful green eyes continue to shine upon us always. Visitation will be held Thursday, May 26, 9 to 1:30 p.m. and Funeral Service at Marsh Funeral Home, 305 Cemetery Rd., Gurnee, IL. 847-336-0127. Burial will be at Northshore Garden of Memories.

WE never really did know one another , but I have always remembered the few times as a kid you being around over at Barbras amd A.J would be pushing me around (cuz he could) well, one time you finally didn't like what you were seeing and put a stop to it defending me causing A.J to run off crying. ... my mother took me out of Waukegan before I finished my 4th grade year at Cooke Magnet. It's saddens me to have missed out knowing you . Maybe in the next life eh?

Happy Birthday BLUE. What can i say you were always so hyper. You taught us all about life and how to look at it in such a different way. You were one of the smartest people i knew. Always had a smile on your face. Such a great person no matter the circumstances you were always there to help a friend in need. I'll never forget the phone calls asking me to fish braid your long hair, not too many people knew you had you told me no one in Chicago new how to fish braid. Your gone but never forgotten God Bless the Sexton family and all the girls from waukegan. Most of all god bless your daughter, a blessing from the Heavens.

As I sit here writing to you, it makes for a very sad day. Corissa bought another shirt with your picture on it. She remembers you all the time. My love goes to you, Linda & Tommy. I miss all of you. Some days are very hard for me.Also tell your Grandpa hi.

Love you, Grandma

May 18, 2009

I'm sitting here in my room, looking at your picture. Wondering why you couldn't be a part of my future. Uncontrollable tears stream down my face, while my heart beat starts to race. Asking God why he took you from my life, it was more painful than stabbing me in the heart with a knife. I still needed you here, you were the one to make everything so clear. When you died a part of me died too. I never knew how hard it was to lose someone you love until the day you went to heaven above. Even though I can't see you, I know you're up there watching over us. I miss you more and more everyday and all I can do is pray. In my heart you shall forever remain.

**I can't believe it has been 4 years! Nalani and I miss you so much!!
Love, Mimi

Blue,
I miss you. I just stumbled upon this guestbook now. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to find you. I may not have known you as well as my parents did, but I knew you well enough to be affected by your death. I only wish you could've known before you died that I loved you. I always had to be with my father to see you, on occasion with my mother. In fact I remember when I herd you died. I was astounded, I couldn't believe it. My brother started to cry, it's harder for him to hold in his emotions about something’s. As I think about you now and how you would always tease me about my name I remember how I secretly didn't care. I would always act like it got to me, but it didn't. I just liked the attention I got from you. I miss you a lot. It's hard for me to type through my tears. So I gotta' go. Blue, I miss you and I love you. <3

Well, I'm losing a game of reality

Blue,

Unwilling to accept the reality of the situation. I now, even after a few years of trying to swallow the cold hard truth Involuntarily and unconsciously shake my head "NO".

As my mind tries to process this unwanted truth.

With all of the success of trying to dine.

On a brick:

Surely can't process it

You will always be missed Blue.

Michelle Bjork

Blue skies filled with hope,
Hearts filled with joy

A blue ocean of wonder,
Our love builds warmth

Eyes blue and sincere
Lovers who want only dreams

Blue stars burn to flames
As I look for the answer to my heart

Cold blue hands-
Warmed by a single touch.

We all miss you Blue.

I can't believe it's been more than 2 years since Blue passed. It feels like just yesterday we were kids, kickin it, not worried about a thing. I hope you guys can feel at peace knowing so many people loved Blue and cherished the friendship he offered to them. Around the holidays and everyday, know we are still here praying for your family.

Barbara and Family,

God knows when you are happy,
He knows when you are blue.
As a kind and loving father,
He wants the best for you.

Through sickness or through sorrow,
Your prayers are always heard.
Through happiness or heartache,
He hears your every word.

If burdens get so heavy,
The lord is hard to bare.
Theres one great source of comfort,
Just talk to god in prayer.

Have a safe and wonderful christmas this year!
