Paul KIDD Obituary

After all this time, I miss you. Miss you a lot. Always in my thoughts. Espresso mutante!

It's been four years Paul... I think about you often... What great memories I still have with you. Wish you were here.

Its been more than four years mate. My life has never been the same since the 3rd Feb. I often dont know which way is up and life is mostly a conveyor belt of existence. I miss you very much indeed Paul. I know the nightmare will come true - one way or the other. Ill be 65 in 20+ years or so, and when I get there, Ill remember either, what I was really like, those years ago we hung out like brothers. Or, I would have met a person with whom Ill have the same riddle and Ill always say to them, you should have met my mate Paul. I know it will be the former. And in fact, I prefer that it will - I could deal with that more easily. So its four years, and Im not ready to say goodbye yet.

So sad and unfair. Paul: funny, caring, energised " come on man!!' and talented. So many great memories with Paul and Giles, gigs, jamming, chilling out and even at work. As well as nomex he and Giles wrote powerful amazing sounding music back in the 80s... hear the clouds move.... thanks Paul and much love to the family.

Taken from this planet way too soon. Rest in peace Paul, yr musick will live on as you will in our memories.

Lovely, smiling young man when I met him - back when he was a teenager. Always laughing and joking and always so kind and thoughtful. Will always remember him dressed in black and never staying still for long. Proud to have known you Paul. Love and happiness wherever you are. Carol

Paul...A son to be very proud of and so loved by all your family. As a close friend of your mum I was able to follow your life as you grew up. Brenda gave you the freedom to soar and to fly and in doing so you achieved great things. You will always be remembered and cherished in our hearts.

I've lost my brother Paul ! Tu seras toujours dans mon coeur ! Adieu mon ami ! Tellement de beaux souvenirs ensemble , de rires et de sons ... je garderais ta joie de vivre en mémoire ...Bye my brother !!!

Never met him, but he was an inspiring musician. Sincere condolences to friends and family.

Always enjoyed hanging out with Paul Kidd/Nomex at Dead By Dawn in Brixton back in the day - and loved his sets! We had fun times elsewhere too - with one particularly memorable event at Oval Theatre when we were both appearing and Paul just cracked me up... Last saw Paul in London in 2010 when he was visting after his relocation of NZ. When I think of him I think of a lot of good times...

Goodbye Paul, you were an incredible friend and a crazy ghost. Rest in peace and we'll meet again!

PK the inimitable! Wherever your spirit has ended up, they'd better watch out!! The world is poorer without your personality

Paul, while we rode around New Zealand together I learnt a thing or two from you. Not only did you love vintage nik naks, clothing and Kathmandu (everything in black), I learnt you were a happy, enthusiastic, generous guy. A person which now days is very hard to come by. You were an amazing tour guide, friend and a great man, I aspired to be just like you one day. You made a lot of people happy, and for that you should be proud. We will all miss you dearly Paul.

Once met , never forgotten . Paul was one of a kind . Witty , humorous and friendly regardless of the hour. ( Packouts will never be the same ) I will miss you Paul .

I'm so sad you've left this world early - I've so many fond memories of you Paul - I loved your zest for life, your energy, your enthusiasm and 'go'. Your music tastes influenced mine and I still recall your old fridge full of LP's! I've a head full of wonderful childhood memories of school holidays spent with you and Giles. Rest in peace my wonderful cousin - you'll be missed forever. xxxx

So many great times Paul. Such amazing memories. Karamea will miss you and I will never forget you mate. See you in the House of Bamboo.

Paul was a fantastic guy who was a whirlwind of energy, and had an enthusiasm that was simply infectious. A top bloke who was also incredibly generous. He will be missed.

Cherry workmate. Talented and knowledgeable in his chosen profession.
A great loss!

Such a sad sad loss. I will always greatly value and fondly remember the rides and good times we had together. Rest in peace my friend

Paul/Nomex,you've gone far too early,such a shame that we haven't seen you for a while.Your mam is being so strong.Keep on teching, Norman

Paul, you were truly one of a kind. You will be sorely missed. RIP.

What can I say other than the world is a far less interesting place without PK. You leave a hole that will never be filled.

PK the human dynamo never dimmed full of power and life, you brought such joy to any occasion. It was an honnor to be your friend, you will live on in memory for many decades to come. Xo

Nothing, but the fondest of memories. It was a real privilege to have know him; it was, for too short a time. Goodbye PK.
