Rex Allen Dennis

Rex Allen Dennis, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away on September 25, 2025, in Baxterville, Mississippi, at the age of 63. Born on March 17, 1962, in Laurel, Mississippi, Rex led a life full of laughter, love, and pride in his family.

Rex dedicated several years of his career to the oil field, working on oil rigs, and went on to drive cement trucks at various cement plants, with his last employment at Lamar Concrete. His work ethic was matched only by his vibrant personality. Known for his silly nature, Rex had an uncanny ability to crack jokes and bring smiles to those around him, making him a beloved figure in the community.

His love for family was unwavering. Rex particularly treasured the time spent with his grandbabies. He fondly recalled the joy of dress-up sessions where he would don a full face of makeup thanks to the creativity of his sweet granddaughters. He delighted in building, woodworking, and crafting various projects, often tending to his plants and flowers outdoors. Additionally, he took immense pride in watching his youngest son play baseball, a testament to the deep bond he shared with his family.

Rex is survived by his devoted spouse, Janice Dennis; his sons, Allen Dennis and Buddy Dennis; his granddaughter, Cameron Dennis; and his great-granddaughter, Kinleigh Davis. He also leaves behind his sisters, Euna Johnson with Ronald and Patricia Butzin; his brother, Buford Dennis; and a multitude of nieces, nephews, his bird Sky and extended family who will cherish his memory and continue to honor the legacy of kindness and laughter he bestowed upon them.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Lena Dennis; father, Buddy Dennis; and brothers, Curtis Dennis, Marvin Dennis, and Richard Dennis. Each of these individuals played a significant role in his life, and their memories remain woven into the fabric of his legacy.

Rex Allen Dennis will be deeply missed, not only for his contributions to his profession but more importantly for the joy he brought to those lucky enough to know him. His spirit lives on through the laughter and love he shared with his family and friends.
