Born to the late Irvin and Ethel Kidwell on May 12, 1930, Mr. Kidwell grew up in Middletown, Ohio. He married the love of his life, Carol Ann Blackmore on Oct. 1, 1949. Mr. Kidwell entered Bible College during the first year of their marriage and was a minister of the Gospel for the next 59 years.

Mr. Kidwell was the founder of Delmarva Christian Service Camp. He enjoyed woodworking, hunting and golf. His love for his family was surpassed only by his love for the Lord. Mr. Kidwell was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers, Lester and Raymond Kidwell; and granddaughter, Beth McClain. He is survived by his wife, Carol Ann; sons, Robert and his wife Wilda of West Elkton, Ohio, William and his wife Mary of Smyrna, and Daniel and his wife Deborah of Seaford; daughters, Kimberly (Dewar) and her husband James of Frederick, Md., and Elizabeth (McClain) and her husband Stephen of Dover; brother, Gerald Kidwell of Middletown, Ohio; 14 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
