Rex was born on July 10th 1952, to Gildardo and Francisca
Amado in Casa Grande, AZ.
Rex married his high school sweetheart , Bonnie Joy Cartwright, with whom he shared
a lifetime of love and happiness. Rex and Bonnie are the proud parents of three sons,
Aaron Paul (Heather), Michael Raymond and Nicholas James Amado (Cathy) of
Casa Grande, AZ. They also have seven beloved grandchildren, Dario, Maricela, Melina,
Sylar, Corbin, Baylee and Derek.
Rex was a tried and true family man, who took great pride in the devoted love he
shared with his beautiful wife, Bonnie. He also enjoyed spending quality time teaching
his children and grandchildren deep-rooted and devoted family values they will warmly
cherish throughout their lives. He loved spending time with both his side of the family
and also with all of his in-laws, as he loved them all equally.
Rex had an irresistible sense of humor; he loved to laugh, tell jokes, and above all, share
good times with family and friends. He had a passion for listening to Mexican music with
his father and telling stories about how he was his hero as well as telling stories about his
dad to his children to keep the legacy alive. With his zest for life and adventurous spirit,
Rex often could be found spending his time outdoors fishing, hunting, camping, playing with his grandchildren and restoring jalopies with his families. Rex had numerous
nephews and nieces that he loved with all his heart. He fulfilled his dream of owning his
own Electrical and Refrigeration business after retiring from Salt River Project which he
worked his way up from the bottom to the Lead Graphic Designer/Structural Engineer. He
has passed his knowledge and business down to his sons. Rex also served along with his
brothers in the U.S. Army and National Guard for just over five years.
Many fond memories will be treasured by all who knew Rex. In addition to his wife,
sons and grandchildren, survivors include Rex’s siblings, Ralph (Pat), Mercy, Roy (Armida),
Robert (Julie), Richard (Gloria) and Rosalie of Casa Grande, Arizona. Rex is preceded in
