Paul Kidd Obituary
Paul Edward Kidd, age 87, passed away on January 25, 2026. Paul was born on December 9, 1938 in London, Ohio to the late Charles and Anna Kidd.
Paul Edward Kidd was a man known for his friendly heart and unforgettable personality. He never met a stranger, and those who knew him well also knew—if you got on his bad side, he could be a bit of a pistol. Still, his love ran deep, especially for his family.
Paul cherished time spent with his grandchildren and took great pride in watching his family grow through the generations. His laughter, stories, and strong presence will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
Paul was preceded in death by his son, Lonnie Kidd, and his grandson, Derek Stevens.
He is survived by his loving wife, Diane Kidd; his daughter, Tina Stevens; his daughter-in-law, Shauna Kidd; his grandsons Jeffery Kidd; and Dustin Stevens (married to Mandi Stevens) and grand-daughter Danielle Stevens (partnered with Zach Stewart). Paul was also blessed with many great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandson, all of whom brought him immense joy.
Paul Edward Kidd leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and family that will live on for generations.
He will be deeply missed.
