Pedro "Barbie" Woodside

Pedro "Barbie" Woodside Age 54 Years of #10B Claridge Road 
made his final data entry at #20 Claridge Road on Monday, October 26, 2015.

He was born at Nassau, New Providence, The Bahamas on Sunday, January 01, 1961. 
Pedro was educated at Claridge Primary School and later on graduated 
from C. C. Sweeting High School in 1979.

After graduating from high school at the age of 18, "Barbie" or "Peds" as 
he was affectionately called gained employment at The Department of 
Statistics where he remained until his demise.  There he met and made 
lifelong friends with numerous co-workers who all enjoyed his company 
during working hours and outings. Pedro enjoyed watching football which 
he did every opportunity he had to do so.

 In 2002, Pedro met the lovely Nadia Humes. In 2005, Nadia made one of 
Pedro's dreams come true. She blessed him with his first and only child, 
a beautiful daughter whom they named Payton Jacqueline Madison Woodside. 
Payton became the apple of Pedro's eyes. There was nothing he wouldn't do for 
Payton or anywhere he wouldn't take her. He spent countless hours with her and 
he was the father most would wish for. He took her on weekly dates and would 
be seen daily doing the school runs of dropping off and picking up. He would carry 
her school bag each and every time and there was never a time she opened or closed 
any doors. Pedro has set the bar extremely high and this was a clear indication that 
she would know not to accept anything less in her adult life. Pedro was the 
GREATEST father to Payton and treated her like royalty.

Pedro was always family oriented, given the fact that he came from a large, 
strong family and over the years Pedro's siblings, nieces and nephews can attest 
to the fact that he has been instrumental in their upbringing, security and wellbeing. 
He made sure that family was always priority. 'Family First' was one of his mottos. 
Pedro always had a pleasant attitude and was mild mannered. He was very tolerant 
and always found the good in everyone. 

In 2011, Pedro was diagnosed with having Diabetes and in 2015 further diagnosed 
with Renal disease, a kidney malfunction. He immediately began treatment in hopes 
of getting well. During his last few month, his sister Kim took very good care of him 
ensuring he received his meals daily and they engaged in conversation frequently 
regarding politics and everyday life. 

Pedro fought a brave fight, he kept the faith but God had a different plan for him 
and called him home at 4am on Monday 26th October, 2015.
