My cousin Chris passed away last month.
Christopher James Kidder
JULY 8, 1980 – OCTOBER 3, 2021
Christopher James Kidder, the funniest, most quick-witted guy anyone could know has left the building!
He made his departure from this earth on Sunday, October 3, 2021, marking the end of a hard fought battle with addiction. Chris was just 41, but those 41 years impacted his loved ones with a force. Survived by his parents, Don and Pam Kidder and his three sisters, Dawn (Robert), Deanna (Ward) and Lindsey (Mark), he has left his family with both full and broken hearts. July 8th, 1980, was the day the Kidder family had been waiting for…. a baby boy had finally arrived! Christopher was a beautiful baby with the sweetest temperament who grew into the fun kid who loved to dance, swim and hang out with his sisters. Chris was the center of his sisters’ universe. After high school, Chris attended the University of Utah, where he excelled in writing and worked with elderly and disabled individuals whom he deeply cared for. He later went on to establish a career in HR at Neiman Marcus. Wherever he went in life, Chris had the ability to draw people in. People loved Chris! And he loved people back; especially all his nieces and nephews, Shayne, Gaven, Rob, Clay, Molly, Noah, Blake, Jack, Jamie, Payton and Miles adored their uncle. It is truly a blessing that he got to be a part of their lives and leave his mark. They will carry his beautiful and sarcastic spirit with them forever!
Oh, and last but not least is Lola, Chris’s beloved cat. Chris loved Lola!
I love it and enjoyed reliving the funeral and wonderful talks that were given celebrating Chris and his wonderful life! I'm so glad you all were able to go to the funeral!
