Kevin graduated from Bel Air High School in 1980 and furthered his education at UMBC, pursuing a bachelor's degree in Computer Science. Kevin was a devoted print and manufacturing professional; he spent most of his career at Deco Sign, LLC, in Forest Hill, MD. Throughout his 22 years at Deco, he formed strong ties with his work family. Kevin was an avid sports fan and loved being the "couch coach" for the Baltimore Ravens, Orioles, and Maryland Terrapins. Kevin played baseball for his alma mater, enjoyed bowling for many years, and was a committed golfer. Above this, he loved proudly hosting the annual golf outing in honor of his late son Kevin Matthew "Hank" Rutherford. Most importantly, he was a great friend and family member to many people, and he enjoyed making memories and spending quality time with them. Kevin cherished laughing and traveling with his devoted wife, Terri, and loved living life alongside her. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
He was the beloved husband of Terri Jones Rutherford; devoted father of Andrew Tyler Rutherford (Sam Myrick), loving stepfather of Alison Nicole Sunkel (Brandon), and Brendan Charles Jones; cherished son of Margarette Louise Rutherford (Earl Mitchell) dear brother of Kimberlyn Sparks (Tom); adored uncle of Courtney and Ashley Ramirez; and beloved son-in-law of Charles William Hicks, Jr. and Sheila Moihra Hicks. He is also survived by many loving family members and friends.
