The Life of Keith Holder:

Keith Ormond Holder was born and raised in St. Peter, Barbados to Ormond and Sylvia Holder. Known for his warm spirit, love of family, and dedication to his community, Keith touched the lives of many throughout his journey.

Keith began his career as a bartender at the Colony Club in St. James, Barbados, and was one of the founding members of Solid Senders. In 1978, he migrated to the United States and settled in Lynn, MA. In 1980, he married the love of his life, Etheline Jordan, beginning a devoted marriage of over 45 years. Keith continued working as a bartender at the Park House in Boston before beginning a long career at ITW Devcon Corporation in Danvers, where he worked faithfully for 28 years.

Keith was deeply involved in his community. He was a founder and President of the North Shore Caribbean Association and helped establish the Crystal Panjammers Youth Steel Orchestra. He was also a proud member of John J. Smith Lodge #14 in Boston, Massachusetts.

Keith was a faithful member of St. John's Episcopal Church, where he served in the Men's Fellowship and as a Junior Warden. He was also a member of Kissimmee Lions Club and Kissimmee Lodge #68, volunteered with Clarita's House Ministry, and remained active in the Barbados Association of Central Florida.
