Dr. Dermot Francis Reynolds, beloved father, devoted husband, and cherished friend to many, passed away peacefully on November 24, 2023 in Duluth, Minnesota surrounded by his loving family. Dermot was born on September 25, 1931 in Killester, Co. Dublin, Ireland, the youngest of six children. As a child he attended The Gaelic School where he learned Irish, played soccer and boxed, and excelled in his studies. Upon graduation he pursued an education in the sciences and was accepted at the highlycompetitive Royal College of Physicians in Ireland to study Medicine. He graduated with honors in 1958 with a degree in Medicine. He went on to the Royal College of Surgeons and graduated in 1961 as a Surgeon. Dermot subsequently received a Fellowship in Urology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester,Minnesota. He went on to complete his training in General Surgery at Flowers Hospital in Toledo Ohio. It was in Rochester Minnesota that he met the love of his life, Maria Magdalena (Magdalena). Magdalena and Dermot married at St. John’s Catholic Church in 1966.

Once they arrived, Dermot soon became an avid fisherman and cross county skier, spending much of his time swimming in his pool and walking the trails with his dogs. He was an avid reader, finishing a book a week for most of his life. He often took his family to visit their relatives in Ireland and Chile, helping his children build lasting relationships with their extended family. After retirement he enjoyed international travel with his wife and spending time with his grandchildrenwho were the apple of his eye. Dermot appreciated all the people in his life – his many friends, neighbors, staff, and patients. Naturally inquisitive, he sought to better understand the world around him through his love of books, travel, andgood conversation.
