Dr. Peter Wood

Peter was born on May 28,1968 in Lexington, Kentucky, the third of six children to Dr. Richard and Judith Wood. He attended Christ the King Catholic School where he received the Todd Tenholder Award given to the graduating student best exemplifying the school’s values of faith, hard work, leadership, and kindness. These traits he carried with him throughout his life.

He attended Bishop Lynch High School where he was captain of the football and wrestling teams and in the 10th grade met the love of his life, Kristen Bidopia. From Bishop Lynch, they both went to the University of North Texas where Peter completed his pre-medical degree in 1991.

Peter and Kristen were married in Oxford, England in 1992. They moved to Miami, Florida where he attended medical school at Barry University. Following his graduation, he was an intern and surgical resident in podiatric medicine at Cedar Sinai/University of Miami Hospital. In 2002, he entered private practice at Baylor University Medical Center, becoming chief of podiatry. He greatly treasured his friendships with his colleagues, administration, personnel, and people from every area of the hospital, and he dearly loved his patients. Peter’s greatest joy was his family. With his wife, Kristen, and his daughters, Christina and Angela, many family traditions were born.

Peter was preceded in death by his grandparents, Edna and Robert Gray and Evelyn and William Wood. He is survived by his parents, Judith and Richard Wood, his loving wife Kristen, his beloved daughters, Christina and Angela, his mother and father-in-law, Tina and Ramy Bidopia, his brother-in-law, Jason, his brothers and sisters, David Wood, Catherine Wood Triantos and her husband Takis, Andrew Wood and wife Portia, Alison Wood Solomon and Casey Wood Munoz and husband Manolo, 12 nieces and nephews and three great nieces and nephews. The family wishes to thank the devoted staff of Baylor University Medical Center for their valiant fight against his cancer and for their loving care.

A Rosary will be held at Christ the King Catholic Church on Friday, March 6 at 7:00 PM. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Monica Catholic Church on Saturday, March 7 at 12:00 PM, followed by a private interment.
