Marvin Rex Lewis

Marvin Rex Lewis, 69 passed away Friday, October 12th surrounded by his family.

Rex was the first-born son of Marvin J. and Joan Cookman Lewis, third born of fourteen children. His entire childhood with its many adventures were spent in Ramah, NM.

Work opportunities eventually brought him to Aberdeen, Idaho, where he spent many years working in the farming industry.

He met his sweetheart Bobette Christiansen, his bride of forty-four years, in Aberdeen. They resided there all but three years of their married life, living a short time in Ramah and Aztec, New Mexico.

Together they raised three of their four children, Corey, Jamey, and Nyki in Aberdeen. Son Mathew passed away as an infant. Rex had a lot of work adventures: farming, custom hauling of machinery, a fertilizer company, and a mechanical bull company. He was extremely excited about working with his brother, Jesse Lewis, at a new company his nephew Chris Pratt and business partner Scott Jackson had recently formed.

He will be greatly missed by his wife Bobette and his children, Nyki Tallent, Jamey Lewis (Cecelia) and Corey Lewis (LaRae) and his eight grandchildren, Ashby, Briley, Sydnie, JayCee, Alexa, Kylie, Mattison Lewis, and Khai Tallent.
