With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Keith Patrick Magner, who left this world on March 8, 2026, at the age of 66. Born on July 31, 1959, in Mariemont, Ohio, Keith lived a life full of love, laughter, and cherished moments. He was a devoted husband to Rebecca Magner for 30 wonderful years and a proud father to daughters Amber Richardson, Heather Sandusky, Rosie Magner, and his son Bryan Mounce. Keith was also a beloved grandfather to Chase Richardson, with whom he shared a special bond, often referring to each other as "my bestest buddy."

Keith, who proudly served his country in the U.S. Army, embodied kindness and warmth. He was known for his generous spirit, always willing to lend a hand or give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. His friends and family will remember him as a big teddy bear with a heart of gold-never letting a day go by without expressing his love for those around him.

His family fondly recalls his affectionate nature, his mellow demeanor, and his delightful sense of humor. Keith had an uncanny ability to connect with everyone he met, making strangers feel like friends. He loved sharing joy through simple acts, like passing out Hershey Kisses to brighten someone's day.

Keith found solace in his garage, which he transformed into his personal sanctuary, filled with music and creativity. He thrived on tinkering and embraced life on two wheels while riding his motorcycle. His passion for NASCAR Racing showcased his zest for life. He made a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Keith is survived by his loving spouse Rebecca, daughters Amber, Heather, and Rosie, son Bryan, grandson Chase, and siblings Karen Riddell, Michael Magner, Tresa Wolfe, and Tammy Houston, along with his late sister Carolyn Polly.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a future date to be announced, where friends and family will gather to celebrate his extraordinary life.


Keith Patrick Magner, you will be missed dearly, but your spirit will forever live on in the memories we hold close. Thank you for your unwavering love and for teaching us the true meaning of kindness. Rest in peace, Paps.
