Rex was born February 17, 1958, to the late Rex Singleton Roberson, Sr. and Shelby Jean Mills Roberson in Batesville, MS. Those who knew Rex know he faced many struggles in life, but through them all, he clung to the promises of God. He loved his family and beamed with pride when telling others about his precious daughter, granddaughters, niece and nephews. He had an amazing talent for music which he began sharing in his youth by writing songs, playing guitar, and singing in the youth choir at Pope Baptist Church where he was a member. He continued to share his gift for music throughout his life and often serenaded the residents and workers at his home at Sunshine Assisted Living. He loved with all his heart and never let a person cross his path without wishing God’s blessings upon them or by letting them know, “Jesus Loves You.” He was one of  God’s special blessings and will be missed by all.

He will especially be missed by his loving family which includes his daughter, Renea Suzanne Roberson Ivey (Glen); two granddaughters, Enid Seraphina Ivey and Vera Claire Ivey, all of Cordova, TN; two sisters, Carol Roberson Baker (Blue) of Sardis, MS, and Mary Roberson Wiygul (Jay) of Columbus, MS; and one brother, Timothy Drew Roberson of Paris, MS, as well as by his niece, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
