Keith L. Orth

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Keith L. Orth, who left us on January 9, 2025, at the age of 58. Keith lived a life defined by purpose, love, and adventure.

A proud veteran of the U.S. Navy, Keith served his country with honor and dedication, both in peacetime and during the Gulf War, where his courage and steadfast commitment were unmatched. Following his military service, he returned to his hometown of New Orleans.

He is survived by his loving wife of 36 years, Linda, with whom he shared a deep and enduring bond, his son, Parrish, and daughter-in-law, Jessica. Keith is also survived by his mother, Mary Ellen Everhart Orth Garner, and her husband, James; his brother, Eric; his nephew, Leif; and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends. He was predeceased by his father, Frederick Errol Orth Jr.; his sister-in-law, Lori Hymel Orth; his paternal grandparents, Frederick Errol Orth Sr. and Lucille Odile Maret Orth; and his maternal grandparents, Amos William Everhart and Mary Louise Stein Everhart, all of whom he cherished deeply and held close to his heart.

Keith’s legacy will live on through his family, friends, and the many lives he touched. A visitation will be held at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home on Saturday, January 25, 2025 at 11:30AM, followed by a service at 1:00PM.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the charity of your choice in Keith’s memory.
