Rex Scott Barker

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Rex Scott Barker, who passed away on August 9, 2024, at the age of 66 due to heart failure. Born on September 25, 1957, in Kansas City, Missouri, Rex was a cherished son, father, grandfather, brother, and friend.

Rex dedicated 40 years of his professional life to Robbie Manufacturing (currently known as TC Transcontinental), where he developed lifelong friendships and embodied hard work and dedication. Outside of work, he had a passion for riding motorcycles, playing billiards & dice, and tossing horseshoes.

Rex is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Susan Lee Barker; his mother, Shirley Darlene Wicker; his father, Theo Harley Barker; and his sister, Tara Kae Wernes. He leaves behind a loving family to cherish his memory: his son, Scott Michael Barker; his daughters, Holly Rose Masner, Jessica Marie Harp and Nicole Lewis “daughter by heart”; his grandsons, Nathan Masner, Bradley Rogers, Johnathan Rogers, and Rylan Horn; his sister, Teddi (Terry) Paul; his “brother by heart”, Kenny Zarda; his niece, Megan Hix; his nephews, Travis Wernes and Ryan Paul; and many other dear family members and friends.
