Keith Arlen Magnuson

It´s hard to believe you are gone 22 years. You were our favorite BlackHawk. Such a kind person. Rest In Peace My Friend.

On this 20th anniversary of your passing you still are remembered for an awesome hockey player but also as a great man. My favorite memory of you was at my cousin Marianne and Jerry Korabs wedding . Rest in peace Keith. Your legacy lives on.....

You Will Always Be Our Favorite BlackHawk. You were the kindest person , best defense man. My brother is 55 now. He was 7 when we met you outside gate 3 1/2. Waited for you after every game. He has your hockey stick on our family room wall. We will never forget you.

*So many years later and still his memory lives on! I will always cherish the times I would run into this great human being with a heart of gold and the unbelievable modesty of a Chicago sports legend and monster of Blackhawk lore... Being his biggest fan growing up as a kid in the 70´s wearing #3 and donning my shin guards held on with electrical tape was all that mattered. His pride, class and demeanor was something I tried to emmulate ever since. We are all better people...

Dear Cindy, Kevin and Molly - It's now been 4 weeks since the accident and I still find myself thinking of Keith on a daily basis. He signed a hockey stick for my son Aidan and played a little one on one at the Club last November. I look at that stick every night and it reads
" Always keep your head up". So that is what I do!! God Bless your family

My Deepest Sympathy to you and your family. As a teenager Keith's pictures hung in my room. My dream came true when I became a season ticket holder from 1977-1990 and was delighted to watch Keith perform. Also a member of the Standbys I traveled to many cities and attend functions where I was amazed at the personality and friendliness of Keith. I will cherish the pictures, the yearbooks, and memories of days gone by.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. May God Bless.

I can only imagine how you and your family felt upon getting the news about your husband's accident. I know how it affected me while listening to WGN in the middle of the night and they came across with the news. I was immediately brought to tears. I was filled with memories of going with my family to the Stadium to watch the Hawks (we were season ticket holders back then). I remember absolutely loving watching #3 skate and protect those he skated with. I remember a few years later (around...

Dear Magnuson Family,
My heart ached the day I read that Keith had passed away. I have been a Blackhawk fan all 39 years of my life. I have played hockey for most of those years, even with my brother and father at times. I lost my father almost 12 years ago, and my brother passed away this past September. I know the grief you are feeling, and I want you to know that I have found (and am still) finding strength from my family and dearest friends.
I still remember watching Keith...

Dear Cindy,Kevin,and Molly: I thought of your family all day today as we celebrated the holiday. I found out Keith died last week while I was looking for the death notice of my husbands aunt. When I saw ex-hawk star dies in car crash, my first thoughts were please god don't let that be Keith. I always considered myself to be a fan but yet a close personal friend. After reading all the postings over the last week I have learned that Keith made everyone feel so special. I can only imagaine the...
