James Kidder Obituary
Born December 13, 1954, in Rochester, Pennsylvania, he was the son of the late Clyde W. Kidder and Mary Adams Kidder.
Jim was preceded in death by his loving wife, Deanna Danver Kidder; his brothers, Clyde, Cliff, and Richard Kidder; and his sister, Joan Shipe.
A proud graduate of East Liverpool High School, Jim went on to serve his country honorably in the United States Army. Following his military service, he dedicated many years to his career as a truck driver, a profession that reflected his strong work ethic and commitment to providing for his family.
Jim will be deeply missed by his children, Danielle Kidder, James Kidder Jr., Marcus Kidder (Elizabeth), Tabitha Dillow (Jamie), Thomas Kidder (Rachel), and Michael Temple; adopted granddaughter, Rayshell Kidder; his many cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and his sister, Sheryl Monigold. He also leaves behind extended family members and friends who will remember him for his strength, resilience, and devotion to those he loved.
A memorial service will be held March 15, 2026, at the Salineville Fire Department from 12-3:00PM. He is in the compassionate care of the Arner Funeral Chapel.
