If one word can describe a human life then the best word to describe Rex Wilson is "true."
He was true to his country serving at the end of World War II.
He was true to his coworkers at Geneva Steel for 35 years.
He was true to his neighbors, always helping make the area he lived more pleasant and attractive.
He was true to his church, not only in fulfilling assigned responsibilities but also living day to day with a deeper commitment that came from truly living the religion that he so devoutly believed in.
He was true to his family, always supporting his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren often putting their desires and needs before his own.
He was true and devoted to his wife of nearly 55 years. Mostly he was true to himself; he lived a life that was consistent with his beliefs and opinions.
The world would be a better place if there were more people like him.
