His life began Febr. 9,1957 in Muncie, Indiana the only child born to Ruth Ann Beal.
Rex, aka Pops, lived life on his own terms. He had his own way and there was no changing it. He loved being out in the woods and with his dog Dutchess. Rex could often be found out at the BBQ fixing up about anything, including pizza, brats, pork chops, ribs and chicken. He was a jack of all trades. He learned to do about anything all on his own.
Rex will be greatly missed by family and friends. He is survived by one daughter, Kristi Wares of Elkhart Indiana; two sons, Jerome (Marianne Behrends) Wares of Vandalia, Justin (Krystal Dunham) Wares; ten grandchildren and a host of nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by mother Ruth Ann Beal.
A Barbeque will be held in his honor at a later date.
Rex will be laid to rest in Bogue Street Memorial Garden.
