He was also known at one time as the pastor of Elvis Presley, who would at times gather around the TV with his backup singers to listen to the broadcast. He officiated at the funeral of Elvis Presley at the request of his dad Vernon Presley.

Humbard is survived by Maude Aimee, his wife of 65 years, sons Rex, Jr., Don and Charles and daughter Liz Darling; is brother Clement and and sisters Leona and Juanita; 10 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.
