Rex Dale Huber, 85, passed away peacefully on February 12, 2025, after a courageous battle with lung cancer.
He was born on November 7, 1939, in Shelbyville, Indiana, to Roland Oren and Anna Mae Huber.
Rex is survived by his beloved wife, Kye Ja Huber, and his children, Joe Huber and Leslie Huber-Yedlin. He was preceded in death by his daughters Annie Neal, Kelley Perea-Shafer, and Holley Huber-Hopkins. He also leaves behind a loving legacy through his grandchildren (14) and great-grandchildren (12), who brought immense pride and joy to his life.
Rex is also survived by his brothers John Huber (wife Jane Huber) and David Huber, and by his sister-in-law Nancy Huber.
He was preceded in death by his brothers Jim Huber and Bill Huber.
Rex had a lifelong passion for John Deere tractors and found great joy in traveling and exploring new places. Whether close to home or halfway across the world, he carried with him a deep appreciation for the beauty of life’s journey.
Rex was often the first to volunteer to help others and for many years he organized a donation of supplies to support an orphanage in Mexico, a cause that was near and dear to his heart.
He will be remembered for his strength, humor, and zest for life—a man who faced every season with a resilient spirit and a twinkle in his eye. He loved to tell a good joke and to have a good laugh with those around him.
In accordance with his wishes, a private service will be held.
Services have been entrusted to Freeman Family Funeral Homes and Crematory, 819 S. Harrison St. in Shelbyville.
