Rex Griffiths Obituary
1958-2025
West Valley City, UT-Rex Cordell Griffiths, 67, of Salt Lake City, passed away on August 24, 2025. Born March 26, 1958, to Cordell and MaryLu Griffiths, Rex was known for his humor, generosity, and larger-than-life personality.
He worked as a chef in downtown restaurants, later at Hartvigsen School, and eventually in HVAC, where he built lasting friendships. Rex loved camping with family, exploring downtown, making people laugh, and caring for animals. His greatest joy was being a father and grandfather, creating countless memories filled with laughter and love.
Rex is survived by his children, Chance (Myranda), Tyson, Gracie, and honorary daughter Madison; siblings Sher (Ron), Charles, and Shawn (Shannon); grandchildren Knox and Honey; and his dog Sammie. He was preceded in death by his parents and many beloved family, friends, and pets.
At dad's request, no services will be held at this time. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Best Friends Animal Society in his name
