On May 26, 1990, he married Susan Crommett and they shared 34 wonderful years together. Rex was a Quality Control Engineer, proud of his contributions toward Space X and Boeing. He had a passion for music and loved playing bluegrass on his guitar, mandolin, banjo, and dobro. Rex was a hard worker, completing his Master's degree in Accounting and Business Management in 2015.
