Malcolm and Mrs. Burton, Sekou meant a lot to so many. I appreciate all of the guidance, support and stability that he provided to the young people at Copley. He was a breath of fresh air to me. Someone who had the same goal for the minority youth at the school and providing a listening ear to me. Always humble, focused, kind and wise. His presence was felt upon entrance., commanding respect by all. I appreciate all that he has done. Although there are no words that can be offered to take away the pain of your loss, my prayer for you is that Father God comforts you. Trust in the Lord and lean on Him. I pray that his delivering power strengthens and guides you. Be encouraged and God bless you🌹

My name is Dominique Dixon and I would like to offer my deepest condolences to the family. Brother Sekou was a very instrumental mentor and teacher in my life as a young man at Copley high school. I will never forget the trip to the woods where I can still hear his voice repeating “focus, patience, control. Listen, look, and learn.” I carry those principles with me 15+ years later! May his soul rest in peace.

My condolences goes out to my beautiful Titi Zulma and the courageous Malcolm for the tremendous loss of one of the most amazing souls that has graced us with his presence on this Earth for only a short while. Although the time was short, Reggie touched the souls of so many individuals while he was here. Reggie came to Earth with a purpose and he lived that purpose everyday.
