Not sure what to say?

Ruth and Family,
I just found out about Rex's passing late last night and could not make arrangements to be to the funeral. I want you to know how much I owe to Rex and his influence in my life as a youth leader and my first employer. He put trust in me, when I was a vey young boy and taught me many many great and important lessons in my life. I use many of the lessons he taught in my daily life in the positions of trust I have been put in.

My heart felt feelings for the...

I was always treated by Rex as a member of a large family when I worked for the Kerby Furniture Store. He had a special way of making you feel you were important and he showed real concern. Our talks together will always be remembered. Marvin and Becki you are blessed to be part of a great family.

I have not seen Brother Kerby for many years and my memories of him are from when I was younger, but my father remembered him fondly and always had the kindest words for Rex and the times they shared together. My father was Melvin Pollard. He and Rex were stepbrothers for a time. These were two very special men that are no longer with us but we know they are in a better place with loved ones all around. My prayers of comfort are with his family.

What a sweet man he was. Enjoyed him so much when in company with Ed Brown. Loved visiting your Haystack Butte Ranch. What a loss of love for you. He was a real gentleman and will be missed by many.
