July 18, 1932 - January 30, 2018
Rex Robert Tebow of Blackwell, Oklahoma, quietly slipped from this earthly life on Tuesday evening, January 30, 2018, at the age of 85 years.
Rex Robert Tebow was born on July 18, 1932, in Lamont, Oklahoma, to Karl Orr and Edith Rae (Hardwick) Tebow. The youngest of four children, he grew up helping his parents on the family farm and playing every sport Lamont offered a young man. Rex served as president of his graduating class of 1950. He entered the United States Navy in September of 1951, serving in both Korea and China, and was honorably discharged in September of 1955. Following his discharge, he returned to Lamont to help his family and began working for the local Clyde Co-op. On November 17, 1962, he married Chleora Kay Keener and bravely took on the responsibility of dad to her children, Kim, Mike and Lisa. In the summer of 1963, Rex transferred to the Clyde Co-op in Medford, where he moved his expanding family. A son, Tracy, was born that Christmas, and the youngest, Devry, was born in 1965. Through those early years, Rex worked at Clyde Co-op and after hours in the summer, worked the fields all over Grant County. In 1974 the family moved to Blackwell to make their home and Rex became station manager at Co-op, until his retirement. Rex was a life-long bowler and participated on league teams in Tonkawa and Blackwell. He was an avid Oklahoma Sooner football fan, but was a real sport for wearing the occasional Oklahoma State Cowboys shirt to please certain children and grandchildren. He enjoyed grilling burgers and visiting with family and friends. A most kind and wonderful person, he will be greatly missed, especially by his large and loving family.
