Rex was born in Brunswick County, North Carolina, in 1933, the son of Jesse and Bertha Little. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Beverly Little, and his daughter, Sheryl Lynn Little.

Rex attended East Carolina University, where he studied business, before proudly serving his country in the United States Navy. He served honorably until 1957.
