Rex Allen Yancer
Saginaw, Michigan
Rex passed away unexpectedly Monday, April 1, 2024, at McLaren Macomb Hospital in Mt. Clemens, MI. Age 47 years. Rex leaves a legacy of unwavering love for his children, whom he loved fiercely and deeply, finding immense joy and fulfillment in raising them and instilling in them the values of kindness, integrity and perseverance. His spirit will live forever in the hearts of his children and in the hearts of family members and friends. In recent years Rex battled through physical hardships but persevered, always accepting the next challenge with the same vigor he had as a younger man. Rex was employed as a glass glazier for many years, most recently for Trenko Glass. He also did handyman work in his spare time for anyone who needed help with a construction project or repair. Rex's hobbies included deer hunting and the camaraderie, fun times and enthusiasm he shared at deer camp each fall with family and friends. He was an avid and accomplished softball player for many years – hitting home runs was his forte. He also enjoyed fishing and golfing, and relished his time at get-togethers with family and friends.
