Rey was born in Roswell, NM to Elpidia and Cesario Lascano on October 11, 1955. He spent the majority of his youth between Odessa and Fort Stockton.

Anyone that knew Rey knew how much he enjoyed working in his yard, while blasting his classic rock and Tejano music. Even more than his love for gardening was his love for his family. Whether it was walking his grandkids to the snow cone stand or gathering with loved ones by the firepit that he and Sue built together, he cherished every moment spent.
