The family of the second person to die from COVID-19 in Manitoba is warning others to take the virus and social distancing measures seriously.
The man is identified as 54-year-old Wade Kidd, who died April 2. “This disease can affect anyone,” said the family in a statement. “And we hope Wade’s death can help convince anyone who isn’t already staying home to do so if they can. “We need to stop this before further families have to endure what we are facing right now — we are mourning Wade, but we can’t have a funeral.” The family confirmed he was a custodian at Windsor Park Collegiate in Winnipeg.
Sad news for our Royal Community, we are sorry to let you know that Mr. Kidd has passed away. Our thoughts are with his family at this time.
