I never knew my friend Rex In person but we did meet on FB and he and I hit it off and became great friends. I probably drove him crazy sending songs to him. But he always told me stories about seeing whom ever in Concert. He educated me about members of what ever band. He taught me one thing I will never ever forget. He taught me how to receive a compliment, I never knew how to do that. I will never forget you Rex. Prayers for his family and friends who loved him

I was sorry to hear that Rex had passed. Back in high school and both before and after our separate stints in the Army we worked together, played a lot of volleyball, and just hung out a lot in those long ago years. He was a good person, a good friend and will be missed. RIP Rex.
