"Rex" Roy Weyer, 91, entered into eternal peace on January 17th at Cedar Community Hospice, West Bend, WI.
Rex was a long time resident of Allenton. Most recently Rex lived at Cedar Ridge Apartments with his wife, Ruby (Goeden). Rex and Ruby were married for 67 years and have 5 children: Susan (Donald) Becker, Michael (Diane), Mary (Robert, deceased) Tonti, Patrick (Mary), and Paul. They are also blessed with 6 Grandchildren and 7 Great Grandchildren. Rex is preceded in death by his parents Bernard and Rose (nee Werner) Weyer, siblings Betty (Delmar) Rattenbach, Mary Wolf, Bernie, Jim, Ron, Dan, and David (Delores). He is survived by in-laws Virginia Weyer, Barbara Weyer, Phyllis Weyer, Jean and Jim Elder, Carol and Melvin Gullickson.
Rex, a WWII veteran, was an active member of the Fohl-Martin American Legion Post 483 (Allenton), and was proud to serve as an active member of their Military Honor Guard until his 85th year. He felt privileged to be a participant in a 2010 Honor Flight to Washington, DC.
Rex was employed at Gehl Company for over 44 years and was a member of their Hexelbank Club. After retirement, he enjoyed woodworking and spent hours creating treasured items for family and friends. Rex was very civic minded -- he was instrumental in many community projects including development of the Allenton Park, Allenton Snow Pacers trail system, and Sacred Heart (Resurrection) Parish activities.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be at 1:00 PM on Monday, January 22, 2018 at Resurrection Catholic Church (215 Main St. Allenton, WI) with Father Richard Stoffel presiding. Visitation will be Monday, January 22, 2018 at church from 10:00 AM until 12:45 PM. Interment will follow at Sacred Heart Cemetery with Military Honors.
The Weyer family would like to extend their heartfelt appreciation to the nurses and entire staff at Cedar Health and Rehab Center, especially Crossings B and Hospice, for their compassionate and dignified caring of Rex during his final months.
