Rex R. Howe, beloved husband and father passed away peacefully on March 1, 2016, in Lyons, Colorado. He was the son of Bob and Irene Howe; born on Feb. 10, 1959 in Iowa.

Rex graduated from Newton High School in 1977. He graduated from DMACC in 1979 with a degree in tool and die. He achieved journeyman status in 1980 and moved to Colorado where he worked. In 2006, he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Real Estate and Finance from the University of North Florida. An entrepreneur and a businessman, he managed and owned commercial properties and investments through HRH Holdings. After moving to Colorado in 2014, he began a work relationship with The Colorado Group in Boulder.

Rex embraced all things- all sports, auto racing, running, hiking, cycling, boating, tournament fishing, hunting and skiing. He thrived on competition. He loved coaching and watching his son, Hunter, play sports. He challenged himself to complete multiple triathlons and to ultimately compete in an Ironman Triathlon.

His love of auto racing is what brought him and Deborah together in 1988. The great outdoors is what ultimately lured them to Colorado from Florida. Both the sound of the sea and the silence of the mountains made Rex who he was.

Rex leaves behind to cherish his memory his devoted wife, Deborah M. Howe; son, Hunter R. Howe; father and mother, Bob and Irene Howe; sisters, Rachelle Pultrone and Rhonda (Bob) Rowden; and brother, Robbie (Kim) Howe; as well as many wonderful nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. And of course, his Yorkie companion, Taz.

Memorial contributions in Rex’s memory may be made to the Brain Trauma Foundation at www.braintrauma.org

A memorial service is planned for Sunday, March 13 from 3 to 5 p.m. at the American Legion Post 111 in Newton, 1101 W. Fourth St. S.~ The Newton Daily News, Newton, Iowa 9 Mar 2016.
