Brian Sexton, our friend, colleague and Counsel at DEYB, passed away unexpectedly on December 25, 2024. Brian became part of the DEYB family shortly after our founding. His easy-going, gentle spirit touched everyone he met. His sudden passing is a tremendous loss to all who had the privilege to know him.

A native of Queens, New York, Brian was a proud graduate of Le Moyne College and Albany Law School. Prior to joining DEYB, Brian was a partner at a New York City law firm and later established his solo law practice. Brian was a talented attorney with extensive experience in litigation and appeals, representing his clients with dedication and professionalism in various State and Federal courts. Brian continued to practice right up until his untimely death.

Both professionally and personally, Brian was a true gentleman - dependable, gracious, genuine, and sincere. He was the consummate team player, always ready and enthusiastic to help a colleague with kindness and humility. He was fun, friendly and shone brightest when talking about his family and kids.

Brian's death is a painful loss to his family, friends, DEYB, and the entire legal community. He is deeply missed but fondly remembered by all whose lives he touched. We have lost a great human being.
