Gary A. Kidd, 54, of Charlottesville, died Thursday morning, June 3, 2004, in 
Las Vegas, Nev. 
Born July 29, 1949, in Charlottesville, he was a son of the late Vernon G. 
Kidd and Irene Thompson Kidd. Besides his parents he was preceded in death by 
his daughter, Stephanie R. Kidd, and a stepbrother, Robert L. Kidd. 
Gary was a 1967 graduate of Nelson County High School and a 1983 graduate of 
the Mending Hall School of Auctioneering at High Point, N.C. He was a U.S. 
Army veteran with C BTRY, 2nd BN, 59th ARTY and was stationed at Fort Bliss, 
Texas, and Nuremberg, Germany. After his military service he accepted 
employment with Sprint as an installation/repair technician, where he made 
many friends. He retired from Sprint in December 1998. 
Gary was raised working cattle and loved farming and enjoyed meeting with his 
friends every Saturday at the Charlottesville Livestock yards. Some of his 
special friends were Gilmore Bridgewater, Palmer (Pumpkin) Putman and Billy 
Harris. Gary also enjoyed going out to dinner with his friends Gary and 
Belinda Fitzgerald as well as hunting with his friends Allen Kidd, Mil-ton 
Morris, R.E. Simpson and Skip Simpson. His pride and joy, however, was his 
grandson Desmond and it's going to be hard to explain to Desmond where his DD 
has gone. Faith and prayers are all we have to cling to his wife, Peggy Pace 
Kidd; a daughter, Kimberly Kidd Geer and her husband, Steven, of 
Charlottesville; and a grandson, Desmond T. Kidd-Revis, survive Gary. He is 
also survived by two brothers, Larry Michael Kidd of Earlysville and Donald R. 
Kidd of Shipman; two stepsisters, Betty Ann White of Crozet and Peggy K. 
Mawyer of Richmond; and a stepbrother, Vernon G. Kidd of Fishersville. 
A funeral service will be held at 2 p.m. Monday, June 7, 2004, at Ridgecrest 
Baptist Church near Lovingston with the Rev. Steve Thompson officiating and 
interment in the church cemetery. 
The family will receive friends from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. today at 
Wells/Sheffield Funeral Chapel in Lovingston and suggests that in lieu of 
flowers, Gary would have liked memorial donations to the Desmond T. Kidd-Revis 
Trust Fund at Dupont C/O, Kelly Fitzgerald, P.O. Box 1365 Waynesboro VA, 
22980.
