Rex Rucksdashel Obituary
Rex "Neil" Rucksdashel Jr. passed on May 4, 2019 due to complications from surgery. Neil was born on March 2, 1963 in Quantico, Virginia. He grew up in Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska, (making him a lifetime Husker fan) as well as Colorado and Seattle. Although he didn't have a "degree" from school, he completed several certifications for his occupation as a carpenter working for several companies.
The pride and joy of his life was his daughter Natalie. They had many shared interests, including yearly trips to ECCC.
He is survived by his wife Mary, his daughter Natalie, mother Sharon Rucksdashel, step-father Rod Hartman, father Rex Neil Rucksdashel Sr., step-mother Joan, sister Kate, step-sisters Lisa and Kara. He was preceded in death by step-brother Brad.
A memorial service will be held on

Dear Mary and Natalie,
I am so sorry for your loss. I just found out this evening that Neil had passed away. He was always so nice to me and I enjoyed having him as a neighbor. God bless you both!
