Rex Uberman

November 7, 1951 - November 4, 2020

Rex Uberman, 68 of Columbia, SC passed away on 11/04/2020. Rex was a devoted father, grandfather and friend. He spent his career helping countless children and families get on track with the departments of juvenile justice in PA, TX, FL and SC. He was well respected and loved by his coworkers. Rex never met a stranger and often made friends without regard to differences in political, religious or cultural viewpoints. He was a true friend, a confidant, someone who never sought vengeance or lashed out in anger. He didn’t judge or cast dispersions. He was a really cool dude, a best friend, a loving father and doting grandfather. Everywhere he went he made friends and was a loving man. He never turned down a good cigar or the chance to listen to his favorite music. He was a life-long Dallas Cowboys, FSU and Texas Longhorns fan and overall sports enthusiast. His most cherished nickname was “Papa” and he was completely dedicated to his grandchildren. He is deeply missed as we look for our best friend, confidant, dependable advice giver, cigar buddy, father and grandfather and we feel a great void. He told us not to live with regret but instead to celebrate life. He is survived by his children; Ryan (wife Heather and children Zealand and Griffin of Mt Pleasant, SC), Reed (wife Erika and children Elias and Jude of Chattanooga, TN), Evan (wife Lais with baby George on the way of Austin, TX) and Kyle (fiancé Dory of Austin, TX).
