May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I am a Classmate of Rex from Everett High School. Rex was a great guy and friend and will be missed by all of us. May he Rest in Peace in our Lords arms with Sandi and his loved ones in Heaven. Well done Rex.

I have known Rex since we were in grammar school at Eagleton School in Maryville TN. He was an all around great guy. He will be missed by many including all his classmates of class '66 at Everett High School. He will be missed but I am sure he and Sandi and his loved ones greeted him with open arms in heaven. May he rest in peace.

Crystal and Keith I am so very sorry for your loss. Rex was a wonderful person to all whether it was family or friends he had love for all. He was a nephew to my mother Lorene Key and she talked fondly of him. I got to know him through her and your mother Sandie. I know he will be missed by you all. He is in the Lords arms now and with no pain. My prayers are with you.

I just loved Rex's love of life and people.
He was a vendor like me so we talked shop alot. He was mainly a great Christian man. I miss him and Sandy . Until we meet again in the sweet by and by .
