Longtime Whitesburg Firefighter Remembered

Whitesburg and all of Letcher County is remembering and honoring firefighter Mark Sexton.

The 32-year veteran of the Whitesburg Fire Department passed away on Friday, but colleagues say his legacy will live on.

He was known as one who would always go above and beyond even when his health started to decline.

Sexton retired two years ago but remained a big part of the department as a trainer and mentor.

His funeral was held on Monday at Whitesburg First Baptist Church.
