Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 26, 2025.
"Lucky" Rex Stafford passed away suddenly at home on Sunday, September 14, 2025 at the age of 74 surrounded by loved ones.

Mr. Stafford was born on March 1, 1951 to Luther Charles Stafford and Coleta Ovohn Sligh. He was a hardworking man who took great pride in his career as an auto parts core supplier dedicating many years to the trade he loved. Rex was known for his strong work ethic and commitment as the trade was passed down to him from his grandfather, "Papa Sligh." He is survived by many friends and beloved family members, all of whom he cherished deeply. Rex will truly be missed by those who

knew and loved him.

In accordance with his wishes, no formal service will be held.
