Rex was of the Baptist faith and blessed his friends with many acts of kindness and love. Some of his family's fondest memories include their times together at the lake. Rex was their humble captain and had a great love for the water. He told many good stories, and he played a starring role in some of those wild tales of old. Juanita remembers the love and laughter that they shared throughout the years. Rex also had a special relationship with Juanita's sons Marty and Jeff. He was a loving Gramps to Juanita's grandsons, Jacob, Eli and Noah. A celebration of life will be held at Sunrise Baptist Church, 2643 Mission Road Hudson, NC on Thursday, September 17th at 2:00pm.
