Marc Allen Sexton

Marc Allen Sexton, age 56, of Weatherford, Texas, passed away from this life on November 8, 2026, to go be with his Heavenly Father.

Marc was born on July 7, 1970, in Oak Lawn, Illinois, and was raised in Southern California by his parents, the late Helen A. Fulford-Sexton and Lawrence "Larry" Sexton.

After graduating from Rim of the World High School, Marc answered the call of duty and enlisted in the United States Navy in 1991. Throughout his distinguished military career, he served with honor as an Aviation Electronics Technician (AT), rising to the rank of Chief Petty Officer. He was a veteran of multiple deployments in support of the Global War on Terrorism. Marc received numerous awards and commendations, among them the Meritorious Service Medal, along with additional unit and organizational accolades. He retired from active duty in 2015 after 24 years of faithful service.

As dedicated as he was to serving his country, Marc's greatest joy was his family and friends. He met his beloved wife, Maria, in 2010, and the two were married on August 11, 2012, sharing life as a dual-military couple. Marc welcomed Maria's daughters, Vanessa Barnett and Tiffany Anderson, and on November 10, 2019, he became a proud grandfather to Florence Barnett.

Marc was brilliant, with a quick mind and a gift for anything technical. He could build a computer from scratch, a skill that served him well throughout his Navy career. He was fun-loving and always the life of the party, and at his core he was a storyteller. He was happiest telling stories about his military service, his deployments, and his family, and he could hold your attention for hours with his colorful commentary. Marc had a big soft spot for dogs, especially his beloved Roscoe and Sailor Jerry, and he never met a dog he didn't love.

Marc is survived by his loving wife, Maria; his daughters, Vanessa Barnett and Tiffany Anderson; his granddaughter, Florence; his sister, Tracie (Mike) Dempsey; his brother, Rick (Kassandra) Sexton; and numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, cousins, and dear friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Helen and Larry Sexton.

Marc will be deeply missed by his family and friends, but we take heart that he is finally relieved of the pain of his final days, and we rejoice that he has heard the words we all long to hear: "Well done, good and faithful servant!"

Marc will be laid to rest alongside his family at Calvary Cemetery in Toledo, Ohio, at a later date
