Keith Wild Obituary

Keith (Keeta, Pake) Wild, age 65, of Harahan, Louisiana passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 9, 2022, with his loving family by his side. He is preceded in death by his father, Raymond S. Wild, Sr., brothers, Raymond S. Wild, Jr. and David Michael Wild, niece, Tabitha Hingle DuVernay, and his father-in-law, James V. Miller, Sr. Survived by his wife of 42 years Denise Miller Wild, daughter, Kori Renee Wild Linton (Dennis), grandchildren, Destini Rae and Keigan James, mother, Margie Craven Wild, mother-in-law, Jean L. Miller, step-mother-in-law, Kay M. Miller, siblings, sister-in-law, Terry K. Wild, Darryl P. Wild (Cheri), Tracy W. Fury (Manny), Rodney D. Wild (Shannon), and Kevin M. Wild (Wendy), brothers-in-law, Jimmy V. Miller (Marlenia), and Brian K. Miller (Adrianne), sister-in-law, Cindy A. Miller, along with numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews. Keith was a graduate of Ecole Classique School and an active member of many athletic teams for the JPRD. He worked at Entergy for 41 years and was also a Reserve Deputy at Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office for 12 years. The family would like to extend an invitation to all of his former co-workers to attend the services. He was an avid sports fan of high school and college sports and loved detailing vehicles. Anyone who knew Keith loved him, he never met a stranger. His daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren were the joys of his life. Keep Crusin' Baby, I'll catch up, love De. We wish to thank the staff of Hearts of Hospice of Metairie for their loving care and attention to Keith and the family during this difficult time. Visitation with the family will be at St. Clement of Rome Catholic Church, 4317 Richland Avenue, Metairie, Louisiana on Thursday, March 17th, 2022 from 10:00 am-12:00 pm, with the Mass beginning at noon. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Keith's honor to the American Heart Association or the National Blood Clot Alliance.
