The accident happened in my backyard. The amount of pain i still feel 10 years later can never compare to what his family has gone through. I remember a lot of other kids in the neighborhood used to pick on me, but Rex wasn´t like them. Rex was kind, caring, compassionate, charismatic, and much more. I will always remember hanging out with Rex and exploring the woods with him. He will never leave my mind, and I am so so grateful to have known him. Rex was truly the greatest person I will ever know. I will forever live for him.

Rex was a great friend, he was one of my first and good friends in elementary school. He had such a great personality, I couldn't say anything bad about him. I am very sorry for your loss.

Dear Smith Family,
As a member of St. John Neumann, I remember seeing your son help Father Al serve mass. It is with great sadness that I received the letter from our church about Rex's accident and passing. I also read of all his accomplishments at such a young age, including his church activities. I have a grandson Rex's age and know there are no words to comfort such a loss but know that he is in our thoughts and prayers and surely God will cherish him as you do.
June 18, 2014
This candle represents the eternal flame that will burn in your heart for Rex. May this be a small step in helping with the healing process.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I remember his laugh, his light, his gentleness. When he laughed the room lit up now when he laughs the heaven will glow. His inner light drew us to him like moths to a flame. Now his light will surround us with his angels wings. His gentleness with my boys, with animals, with everyone brought joy. Now he will guard us and lend us that gentle spirit when we are in need. My love and prayers are with you. My heart bleeds with yours.
