He is preceded in death by his father, Dale Waldenmyer, and his mother, Mary Alice Waldenmyer.

Rex Waldenmyer will be remembered not only for his dedication to public service but also as a kind and loving family member who left a lasting impact on those fortunate enough to know him. His legacy continues through the lives he touched and the values he instilled in his family.
