Rex loved spending time with his family and was adored by his granddaughter, Lexi, who saw him not only as a loving grandfather but her best friend. He loved hunting, fishing, ATVing and woodworking. Christmas was a special time with him building displays and decorating for everyone to enjoy. Rex enjoyed baking for others and made awesome pumpkin and apple pie. As many of his recipes, his oatmeal cookies had a special ingredient that only Rex knew, which made them so good. He had a witty sense of humor and loved to make people laugh. Rex enjoyed fellowship with his church family and being able to help others. He will be missed dearly by all who knew and loved him.
