Ed Rynders
Ed Rynders, 62, a resi
dent of St Simons Island
and formerly of Albany,
Georgia passed away
peacefully in his home
after a short illness. He
entered heaven’s gates
after a rich life and his
family is proud to share
his legacy and true zest
for life and his commu
nity.
Ed will be missed by
many. He was born on
Johnson’s Air Force Base
in Japan and grew up in

of Georgia, running a
personal care home, and
a career as a larger-than-

his hometown of Albany,
Georgia and the sur
rounding counties in the
state legislature for 17
years. During his career

al GOP conventions,
and was the chair of the
House Governmental
Affairs Committee,
Secretary of the Appro
priations Committee, and
Secretary of the Health
and Human Services
Committee and numer
ous other committees.
Ed was staunchly loyal
and passionate to the citi
zens and communities of
rural South Georgia and
secured critical resourc
es, funding, and infra
structure that made the
community that was his
home for his entire life
better for all.
In addition to his body
of work as a public
servant, Ed made friends
everywhere he went
and enjoyed sharing his
knowledge of baseball,
college football, music,
and trivia with everyone
he met. He was a little
league baseball coach, a
fisherman, and a Chris
tian. His friends and
family will best remem
ber him as a skilled con
versationalist, jack of all
trades, comedian, and a
man who knew so much
about nothing.
Ed was most proud of
his family. He is sur
vived by his wife of 38
years Jane; 3 children
Megan (Andrew), Matt,
and Brooks; 1 grandson
Andrew; 2 sisters Jeanie
and Denise; and numer
ous nieces and nephews.
He is preceded in death
by his mother and grand
daughter.

will receive friends from
10 am until 11 am at the

who attend the service
dress in casual attire that
represents Ed’s passion
for college football and
living life to the fullest

The family wants to
share their sincere appre
ciation to Hospice of the
Golden Isles and requests
that any contributions
be made to this incred
ible organization in his
memory.
