Obituary of Dylan Christopher Rutherford

July 21, 1997 – Calgary, Alberta

August 29, 2024 – Airdrie, Alberta

Dylan “Chris” Rutherford of Airdrie, AB, passed away on Thursday, August 29, 2024, at the age of 27 years.

It is with profound sadness that Dylan’s family announces his passing.

Dylan is survived by his parents, Ward Rutherford and Kristen Main (Jeff); siblings, Logan Rutherford, Noah Main, and River Main; as well as his extended family.

Dylan had a love for the outdoors and, in recent years, had made many trips to the mountains to enjoy camping and hiking.

Dylan will always be remembered for his quirky sense of humour and ability to come up with the perfect sarcastic comment.

Dylan cared very much for animals, especially his beloved cats Smokey and Bandit.

A special thank you is extended to our family, friends and neighbors for their support during this incredible difficult time.
