Ian Ronald Kydd

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.

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

Dear Ron and Roseanne, Please accept our sincere condolences on your loss. The death of Ian will leave a hole in your hearts, and we are sorry for your pain. May God comfort you. Joyce and Al

We are so sorry to hear of Ian's unexpected death. He was such a likeable person always friendly and smiling. He had a remarkable ability to remember people's names and their interests. He loved his books and he loved to tell you about his latest literary research, whether it be Dr Phil or sports. I knew Ian through St Peter's Anglican Church; he felt comfortable enough to sit with me during the services. We used to attend SPRED together monthly at St Andrew's Presbyterian Church too. He became a cherished friend. God bless you Ian. Peter Brotherhood

I'm so sorry for your loss. I will always cherish my memories of Ian.

Dear Rosanne, Ron and family: My heart goes out to you on the loss of your dear son and brother, Ian. May he rest in peace, knowing how greatly he was loved by his family and friends.

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

Our deepest condolences on the loss of Ian. May his memory be a blessing to you. Love Jennifer & Declan

I am so very sorry to hear that Ian has died. I have happy memories of his smile and joyful greeting whenever I visited the Blue Box. He always enquired after my husband, Peter. I grieve with Ian's family at this very sad time. God bless and comfort you all.

Ian had such a gentle and kind manner. I will never forget, one Sunday morning, observing how graciously and sincerely he welcomed another parishioner who was experiencing personal health issues. I found it quite touching! I cannot think of Ian without picturing him at St. Peter’s. He will be fondly remembered.

Dear Ron and Roseanne and family, The peace of God be with you as you mourn the passing of your gifted son Ian; gifted with faith, personality and a desire to be a part of this community!

Dear Ron, Roseanne and Family. Thinking of you and praying for the peace that passes all understanding during this difficult time. I remember the first time I met Ian and learned very quickly that he loved the Lord and his family with all his heart. 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.”💖

My deepest condolences, loved his friendship at beyond the bluebox. Loved how he would call me manon piano. That's how he remembered my name. RIP Ian

Sorry to hear of Ian's passing. He was such a dear and friendly face with a lovely greeting and much respect whenever we visited Beyond the Blue Box. Even taking the time to do research and proudly give my husband a printed copy of the MacDonald family history that he had done. Such a sweet and caring person. He will be so missed by so many. RIP Ian.
