Brian Oliver Orth, 68, of Glasgow, Montana, passed away of natural causes on Saturday, February 19, 2022 in his home in Glasgow.
He was born January 28, 1954 in Glasgow, Montana to Verne and Marian (Sletten) Orth. He joined older siblings Alice and Luella and was an older brother to Donna. He grew up on a farm outside of Nashua and the family enjoyed traveling during his childhood. He graduated from Nashua High School in 1972. He married Judy Taylor on September 25, 1978. They had two children, Jon and Katrina. Although they separated briefly, Brian and Judy were together for nearly 30 years before her death in 2009.
Brian worked as a farm and ranch hand for most of his life. He loved working outdoors and his gentle nature made him a natural helper. He enjoyed working with cattle and spent many summers custom harvesting.
He loved people and was always willing to lend a hand to someone who needed it. His heart was as big as his smile, which he shared with everyone he met. He loved to tell stories. He enjoyed bowling but mostly loved to drive. He whiled away many hours in the pickup, enjoying the countryside and old country music.
He is survived by his children Jon Orth and Katrina Orth, and his sisters Donna Borgen and Luella Lucara. He was preceded in death by his wife Judy, his parents Verne and Marion Orth, and his sister Alice Riley.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, February 26, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. at the VFW in Glasgow, Montana with Pastor Rick Thompson officiating.

So sorry to hear of Brian’s death. I am sure that my husband knew Brian much longer than I as my acquaintance with Brian began in the days he worked for Muncie Taylor, which was a few years ago! Enjoyed knowing him over the years. Treasure your memories. Gone, but not forgotten.

Sorry to hear of Brians passing. The Orths were neighbors when we lived north of town and our kids played together, so I have known Brian all his life. He always had a smile when we would see each other. Condolences to the family and friends.

Thoughts and prayers for his family! Cherish the memories!

My heart and prayers go out to you, Brian’s family, on your loss. Although I had not seen Brian for many decades, my memories go back to his younger days when he was a student in typing class and also when he worked for my father one summer. May your lives be filled with wonderful memories that warm your heart and bring you comfort.

Sorry to hear of Brian’s passing. I was blessed to meet him last year, what a nice guy he was. God bless.

I just read this and had to stop and say how sorry I am to hear of Brian’s passing. I have fond memories of him from roller skating days at the civic center. He always had a nice smile for me, and would always relish in teasing me a bit. It took me years to figure out why he called me “Coozie”, until I finally realized he meant “Cousy” after a basketball player. He was a nice guy. My thoughts are with all of you.
Kristi Shipstead (Rohde) says
You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Sorry for your loss
