Roy Kidd children: Meet Marc Kidd, Kathy Kuhl & Keith Kidd

The Kidd Family: A Legacy of Love and Football

Roy Kidd, the legendary American collegiate football player and coach, was not only a titan on the field but also a devoted family man. Born on December 4, 1931, in Corbin, Kentucky, Kidd’s impact extended far beyond the football stadium, reaching the hearts of his beloved family.

Throughout his storied career as the head coach at Eastern Kentucky University from 1964 to 2002, where he amassed a remarkable record of 314 wins, 124 losses, and 8 ties, Kidd’s family remained a constant source of support and inspiration.

Roy Kidd and his wife, Sue, shared the joys and challenges of life, raising three children together—Marc, Keith, and Kathy. Their union was not only a testament to enduring love but also a foundation upon which a legacy of football excellence and family values was built.

As a father, Roy Kidd passed on his passion for football to his children, each of whom has forged their own path in life. Marc, Keith, and Kathy have undoubtedly inherited their father’s unwavering commitment to success and integrity.

In addition to their children, Roy and Sue were blessed with six grandchildren: Seth Kidd, Samantha Kidd, Evan Kuhl, Nicholas Kuhl, and two other cherished members of the family. These grandchildren represent the next generation of the Kidd family, carrying forward a legacy of love, values, and, undoubtedly, a shared love for the game of football.

While Roy Kidd’s achievements on the football field will forever be celebrated, it is equally important to recognize the profound impact he had within the walls of his own home. His role as a loving husband, father, and grandfather is a testament to his character and the enduring values he held dear.

As we remember the coaching legend, let us also celebrate the Kidd family, who stood by his side, offering their unwavering support and love throughout his remarkable journey in football and life. The legacy of Roy Kidd lives on not only in the records he set but also in the hearts of his family.
