Kay Manning
Keith “Butch” Dewayne Orr, 67, of Oil City passed away on May 14, 2026 at UPMC Northwest.
Born in Oil City on March 4, 1959, he was the son of the late Donald R. and Shirley A. (Daugherty) Orr.
Butch loved loved trains, motorcycles, big trucks, and school buses. He enjoyed watching car races and was a football as a Steelers fan. When he was able, he enjoyed trips to the zoos, watching parades, riding on the OC & T railroad, seeing a good Sea Wolves game, and watching the airplanes at Franklin Airport.
His smile and laughter could brighten any room and he’ll surely be missed by everyone that knew and loved him.
He is survived by his brother, Richard “Ricky” Orr of Franklin; his aunts Marlyn Sutley of Franklin, Kathleen “Kay” Manning of Utica; his nephew Robert Orr of Meadville; his niece Tennille Orr of Pittsburgh; and his housemate Lewie.
Guests will be received at Gardinier-Warren Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Inc., 1315 Chestnut Street, Franklin on Thursday, May 21st from 2 pm until the start of services at 4 pm. Butch will be laid to rest in Franklin Cemetery.

Butchie was such a delight to work with. Sweetheart of a man. -
I met Butch about 25 years ago, and he certainly made an impression on me. I would play songs on the guitar for him, and even after all this time, he is still one of my favorite people to play for, ever. His passion and appreciation for music was inspiring. I am sad to see that he’s passed, but I do know that he seemed truly content with the life that he led, and I know he will be missed. Cheers, Butchie. -
Butchie was a kindhearted soul and a very pleasant person to work with. I will miss him dearly. I will miss the trips we would go on just to see the trains, and going out on Ice cream trips made your day. Rest in peace, my friend, you will always be missed.
