Haggai Sekesa
Age 18
Auburn, Washington
“Fly my precious one. Fly, fly...”
Some called him “Laggai,” others “Ace.” Four years ago, when he was in seventh grade at Cascade Middle School, he was on the varsity track and field team and ran the 75- and 110-meter hurdles.
His huge, frizzy curls were styled in an undercut. He was “humble” and “lighthearted,” and “always there for you when you need him.”
On Feb. 10, 2019, Haggai Sekesa was shot in the head and killed and found in a car in a remote part of Auburn, Washington. On his memorial page, a comment read, “Fly my precious one Fly fly do not fear cross over to the other shore until we meet again.”
