Keith Rynard will leave a lasting legacy in Brock Township.longtime politician and volunteer, Mr. Rynard, 87, died last Tuesday (Feb. 12) after suffering what police describe as a "medical episode" while driving in the village.Rynard served as a councillor, deputy reeve and reeve of the former Brock Township from 1969 to 1973. He also served one term as regional councillor and one term as mayor in the amalgamated Brock Township from 1974 to 1978.Rynard was also known for his community involvement, volunteering with a number of organizations including the Lions Club, the Sunderland Agricultural Society and the Sunderland District Historical Society.stature in the community was evident over the weekend, as hundreds turned out to pay respects at his funeral.In her eulogy, Mr. Rynard's daughter, Bonnie Jackson, said that he had three loves in his life -- his family, his farm and Brock Township.
"Dad was born and raised in Brock Township. He married a girl from Brock Township. He raised his family in Brock Township. He lived all his life in Brock Township and he died in Brock Township," she said.
"Dad loved Brock Township – he loved every square mile and thought there was nowhere else on Earth like it.  He visited a lot of other places but he always said it was good to get home."such a strong love, it was only natural for Mr. Rynard to work hard to make it a better place. His legacy will live on -- not only in those who remember him, but also in the community, through his involvement in the construction of the Sunderland Memorial Arena and the Sunderland-Brock Medical Centre and his tireless volunteerism with countless organizations.
"His legacy is right in front of us and will be for years to come," Ms. Jackson said.said her father seemed to live his life by a set of rules and raised his family to live theirs the same way. Build it strong, don't take shortcuts, learn each day, give before you get, don't be afraid to take risks, work hard everyday and, most importantly, play hard.was fiercely proud of his eight grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren.
"Each of you were the highlights of his life and he looked at you as his accomplishments just the same as his accomplishments in the community," Ms Robertson told the grandchildren and great-grandchildren.an interview Tuesday, Sunderland resident Jay Yerema-Weafer echoed many of those sentiments and spoke about the impact Mr. Rynard had on her life and the lives of others. She called it a "beautiful legacy."
"He was a rare jewel -- one in a million. Once in a lifetime you'll meet someone like him," she said.
"He was a fixture in the community. A real example of what makes Brock Township such a great place."Yerema-Weafer remembered touring the sugar bush at the Rynard farm as a child and the bond that developed when she ran for council in the 2006 municipal election.She described Mr. Rynard as a walking encyclopedia of local history and municipal issues.
"I may not have won the election, but I won the greatest prize of all -- being able to spend so much time with him," she said.
"He was a great mentor and a great friend. His passing has left a huge void in my life. I'm going to miss him terribly. I miss him already." 
Burial*He was buried in Brock Twp., St. John Cemetery, Ontario County, Ontario, Canada.

Death*Marion Madeline Rynard died on 13 May 2025 at age 92; With heavy hearts and deep gratitude for a life well-lived, we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great great grandmother, and friend Marion Madeline Crowder (Rynard) at the age of 92.

She was the devoted wife of the late Maurice Crowder (May 11, 2017) with whom she shared a beautiful life filled with love, laughter and adventure. Missing her deeply are her children Judith (Ralph Corneil), Joan (Jim Fanning), Brian (Martha), Orville (Gerlinde), Perry (Pauline), Roger (Nancy) and Lyndon (Andrea) each of whom carry forward her spirit, her values, and her boundless love. She was a guiding light in their lives - listener, a supporter, a champion and a nurturer. Her children were her pride and joy, and she never missed the opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments, offer her wisdom, or simply be there with her comforting presence.

Known for her passionate nature and larger-than-life laugh, Marion approached every day with a zest for living. She loved wholeheartedly and gave generously. Whether she was on the golf course, at the bowling alley, or around playing cards, she brought laughter, competitive spirit, and a sense of fun that drew people to her. She lived life on her terms - fearless, full of grace, and a sense of adventure that never faded with age.

She taught us the value of dedication, the importance of kindness, and how to laugh without restraint. Life gets busy, but family came first for Marion, her daily phone calls, her shopping/coffee trips, her visits to and from her Great Great Grandchildren and playing cards with them, were the highlight of her spring. Her legacy lives on in the stories we share, the traditions we carry forward, and the special memories we all share. 
Burial*She was buried in Ops Twp., Riverside Cemetery, Lindsay, Victoria County, Ontario, Canada.
