James Roger Rex was born July 29, 1933, in Union Township, Floyd County, a son of Gordon Roderick and Jennie Leota (Bailey) Rex, and died Wednesday (Dec. 26, 2001) at his home in Marble Rock.

He received his education in the Marble Rock Public Schools, graduating in 1951. He became employed by Philip Parcher until he entered the United States Army on Nov. 18, 1953. He served in the Combat Construction Special Co. A 194th Engineer Battalion. Following his discharge on Sept. 23, 1955, he returned to Marble Rock, where he began farming on his own.

He was united in marriage to Betty Lou Lane on March 27, 1954, at the West St. Charles Methodist Church in Charles City. To this union were born two children, Ricky and Vicky.

Jim's life encompassed his lifelong endeavor in being a successful farmer, his family (more especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren) and his community. He was actively involved in farming for over 45 years. His greatest love was operating the combine during the fall harvest.

He will be sadly missed by his four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, who will fondly remember those special fishing trips, helping grandpa on the farm, using fishing poles to fly kites at Easter time and wrestling with grandpa.

He rarely missed a sporting activity in which the grandchildren participated, and often times purchased pop for the whole team regardless of whether they won or lost. Jim's other interests included playing card games, traveling and reading the gossip magazines.

Jim's community service included being a member since 1966 and a past president of the Marble Rock Lions Club, and board member and past officer of the Marble Rock Community Improvement Association which was started under Jim's leadership on Feb. 14, 1986.

Those left to cherish his memory include his loving wife, Betty, of Marble Rock; his children and their spouses, Ricky and Darlene, of Marble Rock, Vicky and Mike Katcher, of Marble Rock; four grandchildren, Laurie and her husband, Tom Lensing, of Lawler, Joe Rex, Katie Katcher and Matt Katcher, all of Marble Rock; three great-grandchildren, Derick, Darci and Traci Lensing, of Lawler; four sisters and their spouses, Kathleen and Mel Schilling, of Charles City, Frances and Don Ritter, of Mason City, Donna Kolbet, of Osage, and Connie and Jerome Pitz, of Walworth, Wis.; and his mother-in-law, Henrietta Lane, of Charles City.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

While visiting his mother at Parker Oaks Nursing Home, he met Regina Halverson. He was united in marriage to Regina on Sept. 22, 1990, at the Parker Oaks Nursing Home at Winnebago, Minn. From this union he received two-stepdaughters, Sue and Deb, and a stepson, Jeff.

Clyde passed away on Friday, Dec. 28, at Mercy Medical Center-North Iowa in Mason City, surrounded by family and friends.

Also left to remember him is his church family, his many friends, neighbors and acquaintances. He had a strong Christian faith and loved his family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his first wife, Marie Honken; a daughter, Dian, and a son, Mikel, both stillborn; a sister, Sadie Nieman; and a brother, Ernest Honken.
