Rex Charles Peebles

Rest in Peace Rex, you´ve done well with your life & family, Fred S.

A very knowledgeable colleague and higher education leader. Always a smile and good spirits. Texas higher ed will miss you

Although we never met face to face, I can truly say that he was a man who enjoyed helping other, a true servant leader!

Today, I am missing you Rex. It was such an honor to work for you and to get to know you . You were an amazing boss, who truly understood the mission and goals of THECB. But most importantly you were a great human being who loved sharing stories with me about your daughters and I would share stories about my daughters. My prayers go out to your wife and daughters.

I am saddened to learn of the passing of Rex Peebles. We worked together at Austin Community College and kept in touch by seeing each other at professional conferences over the years. Rex was a friend, a fine educator ,a believer in opportunity and inclusion and most importantly a good person. I am happy that I got to know him and he will be missed.

My prayers and heart go out to Sandra , Natalie and Nicole

Sincere condolences to all of Rex's family and friends. I was very saddened to hear of his passing.

Rex was a great colleague at Austin Community College, and he was fun to work with. My favorite memory of him is from big meetings, where all kinds of issues were debated and discussed. Sometimes, Rex would cock his head, get a smile on his face, and say, "Yes, but have your considered. . . . .?" That always brought a new, and much needed, perspective to the discussion. Thank...

My interactions with Rex were always inspiring. Rex was very willing to help me think through policy issues as I adjusted to my new responsibilities and struggled with approving new doctoral programs. His generosity and willingness to do some hand holding really made an impression on me. I can only hope that his family knows that many of us who crossed paths with him over the years and across many states know him to be a good and generous man.

Rex Peebles was a friend and colleague that I came to know the past several years through professional associations in higher education. I saw Rex just last month at a conference and we had such a wonderful conversation about his early career, his start in higher education, and his work with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. We were scheduled to meet earlier today.

To his family, friends, and colleagues, I share in your love of Rex and offer my deepest condolences....
