Rex loved his family and was a very dedicated husband, father, grandfather and friend. Rex was a man of great patience, detail and he could fix or repair anything that was presented to him. Rex loved the outdoors, tending to his wife’s flowers and always planted a garden. He was constantly on the go. He loved Country and Polka Music and he was a fabulous dancer.

Rex is survived by his loving and devoted wife, Sandy DeMent. They shared a very deep love for one another; and his two fur babies, Precious and Peanut.
