Rex Alan Brown, age 66, of Prescott, Kansas, passed away on April 25, 2026, leaving behind a life defined by hard work, craftsmanship, and deep love for his family.

Rex was born on August 10, 1959, to Everett Oscar Brown Jr. And Patricia Ann Brown. He graduated from Oak Park High School in Kansas City, Missouri. On June 30, 1978, he married Brenda Sue Thurston, and together they shared 47 years of marriage and built a life centered around family.

He is survived by his children, Jason Brown (Nicole) of Prescott and Katie Hueston (Kenny) of Redfield; his grandchildren, Madison, Curtis, Carlie, and Macie; and his great-grandchildren, Dawson and Liam Sterling.

A proud third-generation Union Ironworker with Local 10, Rex spent nearly his entire career helping shape the Kansas City skyline, including work on the T-Mobile Center, the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, Kansas City Star and numerous power plants. He also had the honor of setting the point on the tallest building in Kansas City.

Rex and Brenda owned Fox Run Bar in Fulton, Kansas, for nearly two decades, where he enjoyed playing pool and making lasting memories with friends and family. Outside of work, he loved fishing, traveling, and seeing new places, and he was known for giving the best hugs.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Brenda, and his parents.

Rex will be remembered for his strength, his work ethic, and the love he had for his family.
