Rex SC Cheesehead

[Mr. Man]

I learned of Rex's passing late this afternoon and have had a hard time wrapping my mind around it. Still in shock typing this.

I met Rex for the first time in Louisville 2008. Ms. D and I were attending our first big MM gathering. I was sitting at the end of the LCR table alone and this fellow with red suspenders plopped himself next to me and said "Hi I'm Rex, SCCheesehead on the site, wanna beer" From that moment on I knew I had made a lifetime friend. We didn't meet in person often but when we did we were usually the last two in the parking lot BSin over brews and bourbon. He told fastinating stories of his travels and helped me to understand much of what I know about my Marauder. Always willing to listen and quick with a good natured barb I was proud to be his friend. I will miss him.

My thoughts are with Terry, his family and all his friends.

Goodbye my friend

Rex will always be family to us. He introduced us to some great food, beer and conversation. We always looked forward to seeing that bright smile, especially those Thursday nights at the Gasthaus. Rex was enjoying life to the fullest with his alterNET family. He will truly be missed by us.



May God take our brother Rex into his loving arms and care. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Terry and his family. J & D

Wow did you ever feel like things just keep getting worse? Rex and Brad and I went out to dinner a couple times this last summer, then brad had the toga party with Rex, Zack, MotorHead 350, becky etc all there! At that time I was still going thru Kemo and Rex told me how he kept thinking about me and wishing me well! My Older sister Sharon also was at that party and was a big supporter of me getting better, then on the first week of Aug (yes this last August) they told my sister she had Cancer.
So here I sit tonight just returning from my sisters Sharons Wake when Brad told me about Rex. Do I need to say more?
Ya know they say grown men are not supposed to cry, but sometimes it has to be done!
To Rex's family I wish them the best and will say a prayer for Rex and them both!

My deepest sympathies to Terry and the family. I am sorry I never had the opportunity to meet Rex, but I always loved reading all of his informative posts on this site.

So sad to read this, my prayers are with the family also....

Speechless....life is truly unfair at times...

[MyBlackBeasts]

Can't believe it... Just can't believe it.

So sorry to hear.

My condolences to Terry.

I will always treasure our trip on the SS Badger going to MVX.

I was shocked to hear the news earlier today and it left me unable to focus at work.

Rex was a great guy and it is difficult to imagine a Marauder meet without him. He will truly be missed each and every day.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Terry and their family. God bless Rex.

I never met Rex in person, but he was one of the very first I ever sent a private message to for some info or something and he was just great with his info and welcoming me etc to the MM.net community. Then when I asked him about Wisconsin, "like did you live there" due to his name Cheesehead etc.. because I had lived in WI for 15 years and was 40 or so miles from the Sheboygan area (although he had long relocated to SC) It was like I was his new old neighbor..ya der and uncle heinrich etc....
I wish I could have met him.

My sincere condolences to his family, his friends, the MM community.

Go Pack!

I have no words. Deepest condolences to his family and friends...

I am deeply saddened. Rex had a bubbly personality that lit up any room he was in.
I will miss his posts and his contribution to our Marauder site.
We shared good times at the Marauderville's and Louisvillle's.

My most heartfelt sympathy to Terry and all of Rex's family. He made a difference.

In admiration,

Patrick and Patricia

Oh boy what can I say here that hasn't already been said? Rex was a pillar of this site, the guy to go to to ask any question, whether it was an Eaton swap or something silly like air compressor. His know-how and knowledge we might have taken for granted and now that he's gone it just makes that space he left behind even larger (no pun intended)

I had the wonderful chance to meet Rex not only at Louisville but last November in Manassas, VA. He was on his travels and was in the area. Chris (blown 3.8), Sherm, Mark (merc) & Pam all met up with Rex at (where else?) Hooters. He was a great person to talk to, and an even better person to drink with. I enjoyed meeting him again in Louisville this past year.

Truly a shock. My thoughts and prayers are with his family in this difficult time

I just logged on and saw this.

One of my fondest memories from this years' Louisville meet was him recounting his adventure visiting Zack.

Rex was one of a kind. Always friendly, smiling, laughing, and outgoing to any and all. If only more people were like him.

He will be missed and my family is praying for his.

This news makes me appreciate even more the extra time I got to be with Rex and Terry during MVXI. This gentle giant will surely be missed.
