"I'm sorry to hear of the passing of Steve. As a former Superintendent of Schools at Ainsworth, he and I worked together (along with several other superintendents) on school reorganization issues with the NE Legislature during the 1990's, while he was serving as Superintendent in Chadron. Even though we knew each other as fellow superintendents in the Rangeland Conference, we really got to know each other personally and became close friends during the trying time of working with the Legislature on a matter of great importance to both our school districts. Steve served as a truly professional administrator, being highly respected by his fellow superintendents. My condolences to his family, knowing that he is resting in peace."

"I was deeply saddened to learn of Dr. Sexton's passing. He was a remarkable leader whose sense of humor was truly one of a kind and brought light to even the most challenging days. He was a good man with strong, steady leadership qualities I continue to strive to reflect in my own work each day.

It was an honor and a privilege to have worked with Dr. Sexton, and I will always be grateful for the guidance, encouragement, and unwavering support he provided during my early years in administration. His influence will remain with me always.

My thoughts, prayers, and heartfelt condolences are with his family during this incredibly difficult time. Sending them comfort, hugs, and peace."
