Rex, I don't know if I will ever accept the fact that your gone physically. We had so many great times the 4 of us.. We were watching videos of antigua and mine and terry's wedding and some of the things you would say or do are just so hilarious and it was so hard for me to turn around and not see you laughing behind me..or being the commentator..I will miss you so much you will never understand how much..cuz i never showed it. But everyday we usually say about 100 of your sayings but its just not the same cuz you truly were one of a kind. I just want you to know that i did appreciate you even though i didnt show it all the time. WE MISS YOU SO MUCH REX IT HURTS...One day we will all be together again laughing and saying those funny sayings like I DONT CARE, FOOD CARD, Never and Always...

I'm so sorry to learn of Rex's death. We were close in high school and lost touch through the years. When Chris died, I left a message at Legacy and had hoped to hear from Rex, but never did. I was away on vacation when he died and only learned of his death this week. If anyone sees this and knows me (or not) I'd really like to hear about his life and family.

Again, to his wife and daughter especially, I'm so sorry he's gone.

Sincerely, Terri (Wagner)Finn

Well it took me some time to sign this guest book because, it has been hard for me to understand that you are no longer here in person. I know you are with us in spirit and in our memories.You were the brother I never had and the friend I could always talk to. Rex, I will miss you dearly, will always remember the way you were, and take one of your traits of always helping others and apply that to myself...Thanks for the memories!!!

Lori,

My heart goes out to you at

this sad and confusing time in your life. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Rex, you took me into your home and life and never once had a bad thing to say about anyone (except Miles, of course). I wish that I would have come to see you more often because the time spent with you, Lori, and Melissa were of the most fun ever. You meant the world to my sister and I will never forget that. Don't worry Rex, they will be well loved and cared for. Love, your best man- Tony



P.S. Gabe sends you his love (along with Kelseys) and wants you to say Hi to Sedjon and Kye- his Grandma Wieland's pets.

Lori,

These times are very hard for you, I am sure... but please, keep in mind, that people you don't even know very well are standing behind you--willing to help you out.

Please don't be afraid to ask.

My heart goes out to you, your family, and friends.

My deepest sympathy, and condolences to Rex's immediate family and close relations.

Rex, my brother and I grew up together and were very close and had a connection many will never experience. As life goes by, everyone goes their seperate ways. I prefer to remember all of the 'good' times, as they are the ones we remember to our end on earth. I am sure Rex is with our other loved ones and will be waiting for us when we cross over. I look foward to that. When all is said and done, Rex was a good person, a caring person, and one who loved music as far back as memory serves me. He is now in a better place free of the mundane situations that life presents to us all.

Love,

Steve Phillips

Proud to be Rex's Nephew.

Dad,

I love you so much, and I am glad that God sent me from heaven to be your daughter. Yes, life was hard for us, but we always had eachother. You were my dad, best friend and Logan's "poppa". You taught me that no matter what happens in life, as long as you have family, then you will be ok. Trust me dad, I am learning that now. I know that you are in a better place, and you are finally at peace with yourself and you are truely happy. I love you,

Poppa,

Stars came into your eyes when you saw me being born. I love you so much, and will miss you dearly. I miss when you would try to teach me to go potty, and you would chase me around the stairs at mommy's house. Poppa, I miss it when you would chase me and "buzz my belly". Mommy says that you are in the stars now, so everytime I look in the sky and look at the stars in my room, I say "HI POPPA, I LOVE YOU", and I know you are looking down on me saying, Logan, I love you too.
