Ken was born in Chi- cago, Ill., to parents Ken- neth Walter and Lucille Crysler on June 9, 1939. After lengthy illnesses, he passed at his home in Pendle- ton, with those he loved, at the age of 79. He was primar- ily raised in Wis- consin, with his family finally set- tling in Plymouth, Ind., during his high school years. He was an accom- plished musician, Crysler playing bassoon in a symphony, saxophone in his own dance band, and winning the Indiana State Solo competition for bas- soon three years. After his high school graduation he enlisted in the U.S. Navy, serving four years. He was stationed aboard the USS Conway with Dean Gardner, who would introduce him to the love of his life, Sabra Gard- ner. He and Sabra were married July 18, 1964, and would enjoy 54 years of blessed marriage. He graduated from Indi- ana State University with a bachelor’s degree in educa- tion. That became a mas- ter’s from Eastern Ore- gon University. He began teaching at Pendleton High School in 1968, and he retired in 1997. Teaching was one of the true passions and joys of his life. In 1972, he began his studies for the ministry, graduating from The Epis- copal Seminary of the Southwest in 1976, and was ordained to the priest- hood in 1977. He served the Episcopal Diocese of Eastern Oregon as a supply priest, as associate priest at Church of the Redeemer in Pendleton, and vicar at St. Stephen’s, Baker City. He performed hundreds of ser- vices, baptisms, marriages and funerals. Though his health declined in his later years, he became a sheep rancher, studied quantum phys- ics and psychol- ogy, wrote and published several books, and was a student of life. He loved to read and never stopped learning. He loved his wife and children dearly, and he lived for his grandchildren. In addition to his wife, he is survived by son Ken- neth William (Christine) Crysler, Ontario, Ore.; daughter Sabrina (Cam- eron) Gillespie, Secret Har- bour, Western Australia; and grandchildren Gabriel Billings, Jessica Billings, Ella Gillespie, Evangeline Crysler and Kenneth James Crysler. He was preceded in death by his parents, and sister RuthAnn Wraight.

Oregon teen mayor from Yoncalla: People can serve no matter their age PORTLAND (AP) — The teenager elected mayor of his small Oregon city plans to be a steward for the budget and a proponent for growth. Voters in Yoncalla last week elected Ben Simons, 18, to be mayor of the city about 44 miles south of Eugene, the Oregonian reported. Simons beat out two other candidates with 41 percent of the vote and will take office Jan. 1. He is optimistic that he can make a difference when it comes to growth. “So far, that hasn’t been happening as good as I believe it should be,” he said. “In two years, I think I can get this town headed down the right path.” Simons experienced success and public ser- vice before the election. He was Yoncalla High School Class of 2018 valedictorian and was twice elected class president. Months before the elec- tion Tuesday, he was appointed to the Yoncalla City Council after another member resigned for health reasons. Simons was just visiting City Hall and the mother of a close friend told him about the city council opening. “It just ended up being one of those things where I got in there, she mentioned it to me, and I said, ‘Let’s do it,’” he said. He took office in September. He’s also a volunteer firefighter and a student at Umpqua Community Col- lege. He plans to eventu- ally transfer to the Univer- sity of Oregon. He wants to major in business and pos- sibly start his own business. His experience and familiarity helped get him get elected mayor, he said. He has lived in Yoncalla all his life and people know his politics. “I think people here have been looking for something a little bit different,” he said. “People in Yoncalla know me. And they’ve known me my entire life.” He hopes he will inspire other young people to get involved in local politics. “You can be involved in government no matter what your age is,” Simons said. “If you feel like you’re qualified, you should apply and see how it goes.” Are You a Survivor of Lung Lung Prostate Lung or Prostate Prostate Cancer?
