Nathan Douglas - August 2, 2025

Dear Rev. Ron, Roseanne, and family, I am so sorry to hear of Ian's passing. Like many, I cannot think of Ian without thinking of his big smile, the kind that is impossible to put into words because it was bigger than a mere expression. To be invited into Ian's smile was to experience a ray of the Father's love and attention, whole and undivided. Last Christmas, after many years, I had the opportunity to briefly reconnect with him and was reminded of this; it was like no time had passed. I will cherish this memory greatly. With prayers for him and for your family, I offer my deepest condolences.

Tom & Judi Snowdon - August 2, 2025

Dearest Ron and Roseanne and all the members of the extended Kydd family: We were so sad to hear of Ian’s sudden passing. This will make such a big absence in your lives and we pray that you will all know God’s comfort and care. We have such fond memories of Ian and our visits with him. He always remembered us and our previous connections with him, even with years in between those visits! We will miss him as well. Much love to you all! - Tom and Judi Snowdon

Jane Hawthorne - August 2, 2025

I honestly don’t know where to begin. Ian meant the world to me and to many others. I was lucky enough to work with him from his first day at Beyond the Blue Box in 1997. That day, a shy Mr. Kydd stood quietly in the book section. Well, that shy guy was short lived and soon he became the “Big Boss” of Beyond the Blue Box and will always hold that position. He will be missed. My sincere condolences to all the family. You meant so much to him and he loved and talked of you often. Sincerely, Jane Hawthorne Beyond the Blue Box

When we would see each other over the years he would ask about my family, each one by name and always remembered something special about each one of them. Before we would say our goodbyes, he would smile, and say “tell them Ian Kydd says hi.” I will miss seeing his big smile and greeting of “hi my friend Christine Sills, how you doing.”💖
