Mr. John Paul Sexton
, of Wartburg, lived an extraordinary life, coming in to this world March 19, 1944. His feisty and untamed spirit knew no bounds to the love and kindness he showed to his family and friends. As a quick-witted entrepreneur, never thinking inside the box, John was a jack of all trades and a master of trees. John was always willing to spread his knowledge of making a quick buck, especially when it came to playing cards. A risk taker from a young age, John lived a life of unbelievable stories, memories and experiences. Anyone who knew John was touched greatly by the man he was. He is loved.
