He is survived by his wife of 27 years Maxine (Snee), his daughter Chloé of Batavia IL and his son Sean of North Aurora IL. He is also survived by two brothers, Kevin (Greg Engles) Hronek and Kurt Hronek of Green Bay WI.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Richard and Patsy Hronek of Green Bay WI, mother-in-law Linda Snee of Sandwich IL, along with many beloved aunts and uncles.

Keith had a lifelong career in safety, most recently at Northwestern Medicine as Safety Manager of Delnor Hospital and Marian Joy. He also had many years working for the University of Illinois, Chicago. Keith was a born and bred Green Bay Packer fan. Football season was his favorite. He was a fan of all games, especially card games. He always looked forward to his poker games with his friends. But what he enjoyed most with friends was a good beer. He never showed up empty handed, there was always a new beer for you to try.

We'd like to thank Dr. Victor Medina and his team at Northwestern Medicine Cancer Center Delnor for their amazing care and support of Keith. The nursing staff of the 2600 at Delnor Hospital along with all the staff that helped us through this time.

We will celebrate Keith on January 20th at Two Brothers Roundhouse, Aurora IL with lunch, stories, love and of course a good beer.
In lieu of flowers, please donate in Keith's name to Northwestern Medicine Lurie Cancer Center for Research, https://www.cancer.northwestern.edu/giving/ways-to-give.html
