David “Kidd” Kraddick has past away at the age of 53. His death came as a shock. He died Saturday, July 27th, at one of his Charity Golf Tournaments for Kidd’s Kids Foundation in New Orleans.
“Kidd devoted his life to making people smile every morning, and for 21 years his foundation has been dedicated to bringing joy to thousands of chronically and terminally ill children,” a statement on Kraddick’s Kidd Nation website said.
“He died doing what he loved, and his final day was spent selflessly focused on those special children that meant the world to him,” the statement continued. “At the appropriate time, we will release more information about the cause of death.”
