Rex Wade Carl Crossno

Rex Wade Carl Crossno, 65.

Rex Wade Carl Crossno, 65, was born on September 15, 1959, in Martinez, California, the son of JoAnn Evelyn (Summerskill) Anders and his biological father Lonnie Leroy Frecka. He left this world on November 16, 2024, for his place in heaven with his heavenly father, The Lord his Savior. He leaves behind so much love that he brought to his world of family and ample friends and some very memorable moments that when we look back on them, we smile, we laugh, and we cry. Rex will be missed dearly.

Rex delighted in all kinds of music, but some of his favorites were Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Hank William Sr. and Jr., The Traveling Wilburys, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, Janice Joplin and so many more. He had a passion for cooking and enjoyed cooking for his family and friends. Rex cherished the many trips of fishing and hunting with his brothers, Jerry and Robin. He adored his sisters and loved the heartfelt talks. Rex had such a jovial personality and a hell of a sense of humor. He could make you laugh until you peed your pants and made fast friends wherever he went.

He is preceded in death by his parents, a stepfather, J.E. Anders, a brother Edward, a sister, Rebecca, two aunts: Vida (King) Mack and Marlene (Summerskill) Patch, an uncle, Rex Wade King, a cousin, Alex and his wife Brenda Collins.

He is survived by, two brothers, Gerald “Jerry” Quinn and his wife Linda of Harrison Arkansas; Robin Frecka of Morristown, Tennessee, four sisters, Cherie Howard and her husband, Larry of Sedalia, Missouri; Marlene Frederick of Springfield, Missouri, Carolyn Howard of Barling, Arkansas, and Kathleen Crossno of Harrison, Arkansas, many nieces and nephews, grandnieces and nephews, a host of extended families and friends.
