Brenin's obituary

In sure and certain hope of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, Brenin L. Hill died on December 1, 2021. He was born in Marysville, Ohio, on January 16, 1952, to Harold Allen and Jayne Clara (Andrews) Hill, who preceded him in death. His infant brother Craig and brother-in-law, Patrick Cronin, also preceded him in death.

Brenin graduated from Marysville High School in 1970 and Muskingum College in 1975. He played football in both high school and college and pursued athletic endeavors all of his life. He loved to play golf and to fish, and he shared those passions with his family. He was a great servant of the Lord who was always ready to serve the church in whatever way he could. He was a long-time member of Central Christian Church. Brenin demonstrated his faith throughout his adult life in many ways. He was a Deacon, Sunday school and Pioneer Club teacher, a part of the sound and light crew for Sunday services, church programs and holiday celebrations, and always a helper on the clean-up committee after events. Anytime someone needed help building something or tearing something down, he could be found leading or helping the crew. Brenin conceived, directed, and cooked the Wednesday night suppers at Central Christian. Right up until the week of his death, his strong desire to serve had him mowing, weeding, and doing lawn work for his children's homes, even when he struggled to do much else.

With God’s help and unceasing assistance and care from Polly, Brenin courageously fought Parkinson's disease every step of the way for over 20 years. Strength of will and mind commanded his body to get up again and again. A committed and faithful team, they ran the race together.

Brenin is survived by his wife of 48 years Polly Parrott Hill, son Benjamin Hill, daughter Adrienne Hill Williams (Dustin), son Peter Hill (Corie Ackroyd), and grandsons Dylan and Carter Williams. Also surviving are his twin sister Brenda Cronin, sister Linda Schrock (William), and 20 nieces and nephews and their families.
