Joseph Haynes Davis: “I honor a remarkable public servant and friend, Efton Sager. Efton…”

On the recordJune 10, 2025

I honor a remarkable public servant and friend, Efton Sager. Efton served in the United States Air Force, retiring as a master sergeant. His commitment to our community was evident in all the active roles he played, including serving on the Wayne County Board of Commissioners. When he served in the North Carolina House of Representatives, we took great pride in representing Wayne County together. Throughout the years, we kept in touch, and there were many cherished memories. For one, I recall how heartbroken Efton was when his beloved wife, Delores, passed after 68 years of marriage. He said to me: "I hope God doesn't keep me here for too many years without her." It brings comfort believing they are together again. Efton passed peacefully on May 27. Today would have marked his 92nd birthday. I extend my heartfelt condolences to Debra, David, and the family as we honor Efton's life and lasting impact.
