BELLVILLE: Erryl Lynn Eyster, 68, of Bellville, Ohio (Richland County) (and Polebridge, Montana) died Monday evening July 21, 2014 in Cleveland Clinic Hospital after a short illness.

He was born April 22, 1946 in Mt. Vernon, Ohio (Knox County) to Benn and Ninabel Eyster, and graduated in the first class from Clear Fork High School in 1964.

He earned his bachelor's degree from Ashland University and his master's degree from Xavier University in Education.
Erryl retired from Mansfield, Ohio City Schools after teaching elementary physical education.

He is survived by his wife, Rayna, whom he married September 4, 1971; his son, Blake; his father, Benn; brothers: Gordon (Tina), Kevin (Vivian); and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his daughter, Kara; his mother, Ninabel; and brother, Darryl.

Erryl was an environmentalist and lover of nature.
He especially enjoyed wildlife and the beautiful scenery in Ohio, Montana, and everywhere he and family visited.
He had a true appreciation of all things in the wild.
Erryl was a loving husband and father who shared his knowledge and wisdom with his family, and everyone around him.
It would be impossible to have a conversation with Erryl and leave without learning something or hearing a wonderful story! Erryl loved to teach Blake about hunting, fishing, and many different sports and was always in attendance at all extracurricular events. Kara and Erryl spent many hours working on projects together, from splitting firewood to feeding birds and hiking through the woods in Ohio and Montana. Erryl was an exceptional father who was very involved in his children's lives.
Rayna feels lucky to have been married to Erryl and honored to have shared all of their life experiences together.
He was an exceptional, diverse man who had a vast array of skills and could learn and do anything that he set his mind to.

Family will be holding a Celebration of Life Gathering, Sunday July 27, 2014, at Palm Park in Bellville (4777 Bellville North Rd.).
Everyone is invited to bring a story to share about Erryl, either written or verbal, from 1:00-2:30. Family visiting time will follow, from 2:30-4:00.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Erryl's favorite non-profit organizations; Earth Justice (earthjustice.org), or Food and Water Watch (foodandwaterwatch.org).
