We are at a loss for words to express how sorry we are. We loved REX and loved for him to come by. He has been very kind to both of us especially Jimmie. He will be deeply missed not only as a cousin but as a friend.

We are so so sorry for y’all’s loss. Rex was a good and kind man who I don’t think ever met a stranger. It is hard to understand sometimes why God takes the young, good ones, but we know he will be with his eternal father and Bo Bo! We love y’all and please let us know if we can do anything.
Wendy we are so sorry for your loss. you the girls and the rest of the family are in our prayers.
I am so sorry to hear that Rex passed away. We lose too many good people. Rex loved his family. I remember him laughing and telling me about about things his daughters did with a smile on his face. He was so proud of them. And he was proud to have you for his wife. He will be missed by many. My love and prayers to Rex’s family. May you find comfort in your memories and God’s word.

i am so sorry of rex death he was great person
So sorry for your loss. Rex will be missed but we are here if you Al need anything.
Wendy love, my heart is literally broken for you!! I prayed so hard for your family during this time. God apparently needed him more. Rex was a super guy! He was always so happy going. And the love his eyes showed everytime I would inquire about you and the girls was something to see. We love you and you will continue to be in our prayers throughout the coming days.
I’m so sorry for the loss of Rex the husband, Rex the son , Rex the brother, but especially Rex the father. It’s hard as an adult to wrap your head around the death of a husband, brother and son. But for a child to understand when we ourselves can not give them a tangible explanation it’s like a fantasy that they think will change when tomorrow comes.
All we can do is love the pain to a to bearable level.
Hugs

Wendy my thoughts & prayers go out to you, Emily, & Olivia. He was always so kind to everyone – whenever his name was brought up in conversation you would ALWAYS hear someone say “oh yea he’s a good guy” – one of the best compliments any Country Boy could get !!

I never gave up hope. Knowing Rex, he was a truly down-to-earth and one I can discuss issues of the. I pray God will send His comforter to see the family through the these troubled days ahead.
