Rex Howe

Rex graduated from Newton High School, Iowa in 1977. In 2006, he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Real Estate and Finance from the University of North Florida. An entrepreneur and a businessman, he managed and owned commercial properties and investments through HRH Holdings. He also brokered sales and leases with Easton, Sanderson & Company in Jacksonville, FL for many years. After moving to Colorado in August of 2014 he began a work relationship with The Colorado Group in Boulder. He was excited about this new adventure.

Rex embraced all things- all sports, auto racing, running, hiking, cycling, boating, tournament fishing, hunting, and skiing. He thrived on competition. He loved coaching Hunter and watching Hunter play sports. He challenged himself to complete multiple triathlons and to ultimately compete in an Ironman Triathlon. He could fix just about anything and enjoyed it. His love of auto racing is what brought he and Deborah together in 1988. Both the sound of the sea and the silence of the mountains made Rex who he was. The great outdoors is what ultimately lured he and Deborah to Colorado from Florida.

He could and would do all things - help, teach, support, build, clean, and give. He liked all people, rich millionaires, poor laborers, young kids, teenagers, everyone; no matter their position in life, they called Rex ""their friend"" and he treated them that way. His quiet mid-western demeanor belied a great sense of humor and it was his quiet dependability that gave one the comfort of knowing his friendship was always there for you.

Rex leaves behind to cherish his memory his devoted wife, Deborah M. Howe; son, Hunter R. Howe; father and mother Bob and Irene Howe; sisters, Rachelle Pultrone and Rhonda (Bob) Rowden; and brother, Robbie (Kim) Howe; as well as many wonderful nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends.
