September 1, 2017

Dylan Andres Rutherford, 15, of Reno, Nevada, walked into the loving arms of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Friday, September 1, 2017. He was known by many nicknames such as Golden Boy, Reno, Dynamite, Dietz, Dill, Ruthie, Tommy, & Slate.

Dylan was born in Reno on November 18, 2001 and is survived by his mother Pamela; his father Adam; his brother Ryan; and his sisters Karisa & Ashley all from Reno/Sparks. He is also survived by his grandparents Roger & Kathleen Andres of Prescott, AZ, and Monte Rutherford & Heidi Goodgame of North Bend, OR.

Dylan was a sophomore at Bishop Manogue Catholic High School where he played football. Last year, as a freshman at the Army and Navy Academy in Carlsbad, CA, Dylan started on the varsity football and baseball teams. He was also one of their most successful varsity wrestlers earning first team all-league honors. When Dylan was not playing organized sports at his schools, he loved playing basketball, snowboarding, surfing, riding ATV's & dirt bikes, fishing, playing video games, hanging out with his friends, and making everyone around him laugh.

Dylan touched lives both near and far with his infectious personality and soul filled heart. He was loved and will be missed by many.

A funeral mass for Dylan will be held at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, 100 Bishop Manogue Drive, Reno, on September 10 at 3:00 PM. A viewing & visitation will be held before the funeral mass at 2:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider donations to the Dylan A Rutherford Memorial Scholarship. They can be made directly to Bishop Manogue Catholic High School or on GoFundMe (GF.me/u/cn3d8w).

You are invited to share a memory or condolence message in Dylan's Book of Memories at www.waltonsfuneralhomes.com

Rutherford, you wouldn't probably remember me if you were still alive, but I was on your Pop-Warner football team. I was your left guard and I remember running into you one time on a play. You were the best person I've ever seen and a good person to hang out with.

To the family, I am deeply sorry for this tragic loss and I hope all is well...

My wife Sari and I ache for what we know you and your lovely wife and family are going through with the loss of your son. We lost our son Justin 12 years ago and not a day goes by that he isn't in our thoughts. May God bless you with the knowledge that you will see and be reunited with your wonderful boy some day. That's God's grand plan for us. It's what gets me through the day. If we can be of any help or support to you in any way please feel free to lean heavily on us. Again please accept our deepest sympathies in this difficult time.

We are sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a child is something that can never heal with time. He will always be in your heart.

When you lived next door to us, we remember your little ranch hand helping you in the yard and being your shadow and watching you as you went about your day. Those who we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day and are always near. He will still be watching you from above.

Stay strong and may he rest in peace,
