We did not know Rex long, but in the short time we did, we recognized what a generous man he was. We were blessed to be his and Shelli's neighbors. He was welcoming, friendly and so helpful to us. We could not have asked for a better neighbor. Shelli, we are so sorry for your loss and hope that we can return any help and friendship we can as you deal with this unexpected and terrible loss.

Sheli and Jenn,
Sending much prayerful love to you for comfort and peace through your grief. Rex gave a young, inexperienced pilot a chance and has supported my efforts ever since. The years at Executive Air shaped my future and I treasure them. I'm so sorry he was called from you so soon. :heart:
