Kenneth “Trey” Eugene Lida, III

MONROE -- Our beloved Trey was called home to take his place among the angels in Heaven on December 11, 2009. Born August 18, 1989, he was called into God’s care at the young age of 20. He lived his life to the fullest, always ensuring to put a smile on people’s faces wherever he went. Searching for his path in life after he graduated Forest Hills High School, he chose to be a servant for the Lord. He was an extraordinary leader to the youth of Covenant Baptist Church, making his faith a priority. He preached his first sermon just a few hours before he was lifted into the clouds of Heaven.

He leaves behind his parents, Kenny and JoAnne Lida of Monroe; sister, Kelly Lida and niece Morganna of Winston-Salem; sister and brother-in-law, Jamie and Thomas Matthews and nephew Tommy of Monroe; grandparents, Reverend Ken and Ann Lida of Jefferson, SC; grandparents, Albin and Bernice Hellstrand of Charlotte; girlfriend, Casey Price of Monroe; many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He was loved by many and will be missed for eternity. We will never understand why our sweet Trey was taken from us so early; we can only know that God had a plan for him by His side.

The funeral for Trey will be held at 2:00 PM on Tuesday, December 15, 2009, at Covenant Baptist Church, 2706 Secrest Shortcut Rd., Monroe. Following the service, there will be a graveside ceremony at Lakeland Memorial Park in Monroe. The family received friends Monday evening. In lieu of flowers, Trey would have wished donations be made to the Youth Group of Covenant Baptist Church.

Trey would like everyone to keep in their hearts Psalm 23:6, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”

Godspeed, Trey. We love you.
