March 10, 1939 - November 29, 2024
In loving memory ~
Milton was born March 10, 1939, in New Westminster, BC to Esther (Newcomb) Gill and Melford Rutherford Sr. He is predeceased by his parents, his half siblings George and Beverly, and the love of his life Judith Rutherford.
He is survived by his children Carol, Sharon, Dennis (Frances), Stephen (Rebecca); stepchildren Leanne (Harley), John Paul (Marnie); his grandchildren Joshua (Courtney), Daniel, Jessie (Tia), Jordan (Megan), Brette (Nick), Ayden (Liam), Sophie; great grandchildren Luka, Levi, Arie, Micah, Blake and brother Melford (Shirley) and half sister Marie.
After Judy passed, Milton spent last three years enjoying the fellowship of family and friends. He was enormously proud of each of his children and grandchildren and enjoyed frequent FaceTime conversations, daily phone calls, and family pictures. His face lit up when he shared updates on family, and it was clear that each one's wellbeing was his utmost priority and topic of his daily prayer life.
Milton passed away peacefully in the early hours of November 29th. He leaves behind a legacy of faith, service, unconditional love, and devotion. He managed to always see the rainbows hidden within every storm. He ran the race, with his eyes fixed on the author and finisher of our faith and has now entered into the rest that was prepared for this good and faithful servant.
Celebration of life will be held at a later date.
