David Kidney Obituary

Kidney, David Edward - On Wednesday May 6th, David Kidney was suddenly and unexpectedly called home to meet his Savior. He loved his family dearly; his wife Gloria, his 2 sons Jesse and Matt, and his two daughters-in-law Tiffany and Jen. Madison and Brooke, his 2 beautiful granddaughters were the pride of his life. He was born in Hamilton to Joyce and Ed Kidney in 1951. David was the eldest of 3 brothers, Alan (Helen), who now lives in Red Deer Alberta, and Stephen, now in Wainfleet. As a graduate of the McMaster Fine Arts Programme, David had a lifelong interest in the arts. His other passion was music. Playing the guitar was a daily habit and writing songs a favoured pastime. David's joy in the Lord deeply impacted his family in Christ at Bethany Gospel Chapel where he was an elder. He was involved in the Dundas community through coaching baseball, soccer and hockey when the boys were young. As Director of Classroom Services at McMaster for 40 years, he was involved in many aspects of campus life and he sat on several professional committees including OUETDA where he had many friends and colleagues. David's Service will be live streamed from Turner Family Funeral Home on Wednesday at 11:00 a.m. at https://livestream.com/accounts/14938408/davidkidney. Cremation has taken place.

Remembering David. What a wonderful person he was. Such a compassionate person who loved his family dearly. I remember all the times Oliver spent with the Kidney family - taking him to soccer practices, church and countless sleepovers. David was always so proud of his family. Take care.

One of the best ways to show someone you love them is to spend time with them! David mastered that way of expressing love as the photos show. Thank you Gloria for letting me share in that time as David and I would trot off to Toronto or Hamilton or wherever to see a show. On the drives he would fill me on Gloria and the boys, then came the boys and their girl friends and recently it was all about those two little treasures! Its been 20 years since I met at Joy Bible Camp the man they called Beardo. When my son-in-law Nathan was a young he asked his Dad about heaven, his question was Dad what we gonna do for all that time ? No more ticking clocks, no more if I only had more time just a blessed eternity ahead. I started writing Christian songs after hearing Davids songs at camp. The lyric of the last verse of one goes like this One day we shall see Him ( Jesus ) and then we will be like Him, walk together in the garden one more time. To the tree of life Hell lead us, our Shepherd will feed us together forever goodbye time . Love, prayers and hugs from Joanne and I. We will need to spend time together remembering David as soon as we can do that sort of thing again.
