He later earned a teaching certificate from Oklahoma State University in Welding. Rex worked for Ames Construction in Utah before moving back to Kansas. When Rex moved back to Kansas, he had several different businesses, including Good Trucking in Altoona, KS.

Rex was presently employed by TCI in Fredonia, where he had gained an even bigger family.
Rex enjoyed many things over the years including, running heavy equipment, farming, riding motorcycles with his friends, but most of all he enjoyed spending time with his family, children and grandchildren.
