Dr. Reginald John Rutherford, of Searcy, born March 16, 1952, resurrected October 28, 2013. He is originally from Toronto, Canada, where he completed his medical studies at Queens University, and residency at Sunnybrook Hospital, where he met his wife, Judith Lynn Beardsall. In 1991, they moved to Searcy, Arkansas with their two daughters, Megan Rutherford and Samantha Marxen. There he continued his neurology practice, first with Searcy Medical Center, and them with Arkansas Orthopedic Specialists in Little Rock. Along with his wife and two daughters, he leaves behind his father, Dr. Reginald W. Rutherford and mother Eleanor Rutherford in Toronto, as well as his sisters, Dr. Susan Rutherford in Toronto, and Jane Bradley in Saint Catherines, Canada. He is preceded in death by two brothers, David and Peter Rutherford. Reggie was a caring person who enjoyed life as a loving devoted husband, father, and physician. This kind, gentle man also enjoyed adventure including horseback riding, skiing, exercising, reading a good book, shopping and doing fun loving things with his family. His smile will be greatly missed in many places. It was Reggie's wish that no fuss be made for him. Since his life had been so blessed, the family requests to celebrate his life and friendship, you might find it in your heart to donate to the national or local Multiple Sclerosis Society in his name. In keeping with his wishes, the family will celebrate his life and disposition of his ashes in a private ceremony. www.powellfuneralhome.net.
