Keith Leroy Jorgensen

Keith Leroy Jorgensen, 82, of Malad City, passed away on November 21, 2024, at his home.
Keith was born March 3, 1942, in Logan, Utah, to Cleon Jorgensen and Margaret Larsen Jorgensen. He had four siblings: Gary, Ray, Joyce, and Maxine, and seven step-siblings: Richard, Ollie, Willliam, Rodney, Brent, Cathy, and Cindy.
He welcomed four children: Ernest, Rick, Tracy, and Shelly.
Keith settled in Malad, Idaho, and dedicated his life to his career at Western Metals in Plymouth, Utah, where he worked as a crane operator, loading scrap metal.
He deeply loved the Denver Broncos and could be found cheering for them or yelling at them through the television most Sundays. A lifelong dream was fulfilled in 2016 when Keith traveled to Denver with Ernie and two of his grandsons to watch a Broncos game.
He quickly became a Malad Dragons fan when four of his grandchildren returned to Malad and began playing sports. You could often find him in the bleachers for most functions, including drill team, cheerleading, volleyball, basketball, and football.
Keith loved fishing and hunting. He rarely went anywhere without a tackle box and a good pair of binoculars.
He spent his later years surrounded by neighbors who quickly became friends and felt like family to him. Also, his friend of many years, Akasha Kszyminski of Malad. His family would like to express their gratitude to all those who loved and cared for him during that time.
He is preceded in death by both of his parents, his sister Maxine, a stepmother, and two step-brothers.
He is survived by his children, Ernest (Jennifer) of Malad, Idaho; Rick (Hollie) Jorgensen of West Valley, Utah; Tracy (Kert) Spor of Magna Utah, and Shelly McCullough of Herriman, Utah; three siblings, 15 grandchildren, and 22 great-grandchildren.
