Keith Holbrook, 53 of Cartersville, passed away on August 26, 2025 at Kennestone Hospital. He was born on August 31, 1971 to Sandra Garvin. He is preceded in death by his grandparents Sam & Irene Grogan; great grandmother Rosa Lee Grogan; aunt Lula Mae Grogan; and mother-in-law and father-in-law, Jimmie Lay and Debra Lay of Chatsworth.

Keith was a loving man. He was a true outdoorsman that enjoyed fishing alongside his wife, Jo, who's fish were always bigger than his own. He loved children, country music, cooking (and making a mess while doing so!), and his red Silverado truck. He was never indoors if he could help it. He desperately adored his wife Jo as well as their pets, Miss Kitty, AKA Slick, and their cockatiel, Sonny. He was just a good ole country boy who will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

He is survived by his loving wife, Jo Holbrook; his mom and her husband, Sandra & Ricky Garvin; sisters Libby (Andy) Caldwell, Sammie Tanner, April (Nathan) Shadwick of Ringgold, and Erika Russell; sisters and brothers-in-law Kathy (Charles) Branam and Tammy (Cale) Hamby, all of Chatsworth; three step children, six grandchildren, and one great-grandchild, all of Chatsworth; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family members he loved dearly.

A funeral service will be held at 1:00 pm on Saturday, August 30, 2025 in the chapel of Parnick Jennings Funeral Home with Keith Willard officiating. The family will receive friends from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm on the chapel prior to the service.

Parnick Jennings Funeral Home & Cremation Services is honored to serve the family of Mr. Keith Holbrook.
