In 1961, Rex married Susan, his perfect match. Rex founded Rex's Heating, Electric and Air Conditioning and ran that business for 50+ years in Mears. He was trusted and loved by many in this community as he cared for people through his business. He loved working with his hands. Rex was a connoisseur of vintage cars and enjoyed fixing and building several cars and dune buggies of his own.
Rex was an adored husband and father and enjoyed traveling the country with his family. Rex enjoyed the companionship of his many cherished dogs.
