Rex E. Willett

Rex E. Willett, age 64, of Fairborn, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, December 12, 2020.  Rex was born on December 2, 1956 in Dayton, Ohio; the son of the late Herbert E. and Lois J. (Blankenship) Willett. Along with his parents, he is preceded in death by his sister-in-law, Margaret Jaime.

Rex proudly served in the United States Air Force for 20 years and followed with employment at Wright Patterson Air Force Base until retirement. During his time serving, Rex travelled to many countries including Japan, England, Philippines, and Korea. In his free time, he loved to play golf, practice darts as he was a member of a Dart League, and he was an avid computer technician. Rex could always be found tinkering with his many projects or even watching Netflix. What he loved most of all was spending time with his loving wife and family.
