Dr. Gregory Stidham lived a life of service to others as a paediatric ICU doctor, professor of medicine, bereavement counselor, poet, husband, father, grandfather, and dog lover. He devoted himself whole-heartedly to saving the lives of sick children and comforting those that were dying, as well as their grieving families. Greg’s caring heart and gentle, humorous spirit touched thousands upon thousands of lives, oftentimes during the most unimaginably difficult times. His legacy and love will live on in the families that he served, the readers of his poetry, and most of all in the hearts of those he left behind: his wife, Pam; his sons and their wives, Tim and Ashley, Chris and Liz; in his grandchildren, Grace, Sebastian, Sophia, Liam, Cadence, Natalie, Clara, and Cooper; in his siblings, Mark and Sheree; and in his dogs, Bear and Roxy. Greg was the hero that many people needed in the most difficult hours, and his loved ones find comfort in his spirit now in their own difficult time as they mourn his passing. Rest in Peace, Dad/Greg. Celebration of Life date and location will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to B.F.O. (Bereaved Families of Ontario).
My thoughts are with Pam and the whole family. I feel so incredibly honoured to have known Greg through BFO-Kingston. He was a wonderful volunteer, an amazing support to bereaved people and a joy to be around. I will miss him dearly.
I must say that I did not know the man, however after reading his obituary I can say that he did not waste his life. May he rest in peace and peace to his family.
You have my deepest sympathy. God Bless you Pam.
