Rex Valgene Gleason

February 16, 1948 — May 17, 2022

Rex Valgene Gleason was born February 16, 1948. He was the middle child of Rex and Cloteel. His early life was spent in Clarkston Utah where he enjoyed riding horses, hunting and fishing. He also spent a lot of time at the home of his grandparents Joe and Sylvia Goodey.

He graduated from Sky View High School. In 1968 he married his eternal companion, Kristine Fuhriman in the Logan Utah LDS Temple. They are the parents of three children. Heather Gleason of Smithfield, Utah. Stacey (Rob) Hickman of Saratoga Springs, Utah. Ryan (Brandi) Gleason of Fairview, Idaho.

He worked in the dairy industry all of his career. He was the plant manager at Cache Valley Dairy in Amalga, Utah where he made many lifelong friends. He was the Director of operations for several plants in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming. He helped develop a recipe for Swiss cheese that won several national awards. He continued to share his knowledge in retirement as a consultant for a progressive company.

He liked to hunt, fish, work in the yard, and spoil his three grandchildren Harlee, Lilly, and Rhett. He seldom missed any activity that his grandchildren participated in.

He was the area authority over the “coffee shop gang.” Uncle Rexie was a father figure to many and a friend to all. Dammit Dad, we will miss you so much!!
