Rex Howell Obituary

Published by Wilson-Shook Funeral Homes & Cremation Center-Thornburg Memorial Chapel - P on Mar. 21, 2018.
Rex was born on August 10, 1930 and passed away on Monday, March 19, 2018. Rex was a resident of Ohio at the time of passing. He made the hard decision to leave the family farm and to serve his country, so the day after his 18th birthday, on a hot summer day, he joined the United States Air Force, where he unknowingly would build his prosperous future. A service to celebrate Rex's life will be 12:00 p.m. Saturday, March 24, 2018 at Wilson Shook Funeral Home, Thornburg Memorial Chapel of Parker City, IN. Burial will follow Air Force Military Honors in Hopewell Cemetery of Farmland, IN. Online condolences may be expressed at www.wilsonshookfuneralhomes.com Rather than flowers, Mr. Howell would have preferred donations to any organization dedicated to helping military men & women, past or present.
