Andrew Linwood Kidd

Andrew Linwood Kidd passed away at the age of 50 on Thursday, October 6, 2022. Andy came into this world as the greatest gift and treasure to our family with his gentle spirit, kindness, incredible strength, and love that touched the lives of all who knew him. He was a fighter who quietly rose above and endured the many challenges he faced in his life on his terms, his way. He withstood the ever-increasing burden of these challenges with acceptance, determination, and devotion without complaint and never broken. His smile, wit, selfless generosity, unconditional love, and pure joy of life were our family's anchor, a center of calmness and optimism through the storms.
Andy, you will live forever in our hearts and your spirit will forever guide us through the storms. We love you, your enormous heart, and celebrate the peace in which you now reside.
