Kentucky basketball manager Bill Keightley, who was with the Wildcats for 48 seasons, died Monday in Cincinnati. He was 81.

Keightley died of internal bleeding caused by a previously undiagnosed tumor on his spine, the university said in a statement. Kentucky spokesman Scott Stricklin said Keightley was on a trip to see the Reds' season-opener and suffered a fall.

He was taken to University Hospital, where he died of internal bleeding Monday evening. Stricklin said doctors believe the fall was probably due to bleeding.

Keightley, known to many as Mr. Wildcat, started working at UK in 1962, as the equipment manager.

In 2002, the university presented the first Bill Keightley award. It's given to the "individual who understands and exemplifies the pride, respect, and the positive attributes associated with being a part of the Kentucky basketball program."

The Lawrenceburg, Ky. native had his jersey retired in the rafters at Rupp Arena in 1997. He's one of only two people who did not play or coach. The other was broadcaster Cawood Ledford. Keightley was also inducted into the charter class of the university's Hall of Fame in 2005.

Keightley had been on the UK bench for nearly 2,600 games, meaning he's played a role in about 57 percent of their games. His tenure reached back to the Adolph Rupp era and continued through Joe B. Hall, Eddie Sutton, Rick Pitino, Tubby Smith and current Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie.

Coach Gillispie released this statement Monday:
"He influenced each of us on a daily basis and he was a great example of someone who loved his university more than anything obviously, he's in a better place, but the void he leaves is going to be a difficult situation."

Keightley is survived by his wife, Hazel, and daughter, Karen.
Kentucky fans will get a chance to pay their respects to Keightley during a public memorial service on Thursday.

A public viewing will be held on Thursday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Rupp Arena lobby. A public memorial service will be held inside the arena from 6-8 p.m. on Thursday evening.

It was always assuring no matter how the Wildcats were doing to see Mr. Bill on the sidelines. His consistency leaves a model for others to follow. He will be greatly missed.

This IS NOT meant to be disrepectful at all but it really shows what a wonderful person he was even if he did the laundry and was in charge of keeping basketballs bouncing for a team. It just goes to show you that it doesn't matter what your job is, it's how you treat people that really matters. I've heard of other equipment managers that were call "jock washers" because they treated people with disdain and disrepect. Obviously, Mr. Keightley was one of a kind.

any one that knew uk basketball knew bill.he will be greatly missed by all uk fans.as well as the univeristy.its gonna be so different looking at the bench and no mr wildcat there.my prayers and thoughts are with the family.he will be watching from a better seat now than any one of us or he could ever have

Will not feel right to go to a game without Mr. Wildcat on the bench.

The Kentucky Bench Tragedy besets us and we experience grief, sadness,loss and heart ache. We go through the stages set upon us as human beings, so that we may someday overcome this tragic event. But sometimes there is a constant reminder that will never let us be free of the heart that touched us so deeply. Much like the New York sky line will never let us forget 9/11, so will, now, the Kentucky Basketball Bench. When the camera pans in on Coach crouching and calling a play, the background has now forever changed. The unforgettable Bill Keightly will no longer be in his seat at the end of the bench, next to the scorers table, anchoring the program he loved with all his heart. God bless The Big Blue Nation but mostly God bless his wife, daughter and other Family members.

His funeral should take place in Rupp Arena....with a Kentucky Blue and White casket.....he was the most loyal of all of us....he should be treated as such....and should go out as Mr. Wildcat. We will miss you Bill!!!

I have been a lifelong UK fan and I am very saddened by the untimely loss of Mr. Keightley. I was fortunate enough to have met and conversed with him on several occasions. The first time I met him was at a welcoming reception for Coach Smith at the Singletary Center in 1998. The other occasions were when I worked at the Papa Johns next to Memorial Coliseum and Mr. Keightly would regularly come in and order pizzas for Coach Smith's summer camps. He was a great man who was genuinely friendly and he will always be missed. My heart goes out to his family and multitudes of friends across the Commonwealth and beyond. Rest in peace, "Mr. Wildcat!!!"
Posted by: Adrian Location: Lexington on Apr 1, 2008 at 12:29 PM
Mr. Keighhtly was a true definition of Wildcat pride and you could see that in him at ever UK game. My heart goes out to his family and god is with him now.
Posted by: McGuffey's Location: Berea on Apr 1, 2008 at 12:10 PM
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and the UK basketball family as well. He was such and inspiration to the team and fans and his face will be greatly missed by all. God Bless!!

Mr. Wildcat will certainly be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and all of Wildcat Nation. He has become an icon of Kentucky basketball.We will all miss him. There is not a doubt in my mind he will be coaching the CATS from a better place. GO MR. WILDCAT!

I was lucky enough to meet and talk with Mr. Keightley on several occasions, and I must say, I feel as if I've lost a member of my family. He was such a fun person to be around and truly exemplified how strongly us Kentuckians love our UK basketball. I remember a benefit in Louisville for the Kentucky Basketball Museum in '98 and Bill had ridden with Tubby, Tubby was ready to go, Bill was having too much fun and did not want to leave. It was really cute and sweet. He embodied the old cliche, "you're only as old(or young) as you feel..." Mr. Wildcat, you were delightful and will be sorely missed.
Posted by: Bob & Alice Location: Lexington on Apr 1, 2008 at 11:01 AM
This is a great loss to Mr. Keightley's family and U.K. everbody that watches the ball games will feel the loss and miss him. Our prayers are with his family. When Kentucky plays Basketball again he will be missed on the bench.
Posted by: john Location: liberty on Apr 1, 2008 at 09:57 AM
our family's prayers go out to his family. may god bless and relieve their grief and mourning. after viewing the numerous comments concerning his departure, it is very obvious that he touched many hearts.
Posted by: Jeb Location: KY on Apr 1, 2008 at 09:53 AM
I never met him and have never been to a UK basketball game. If the University wants to honor this man in a way that everyone would love; place an empty seat at the end of the UK bench with his name on it. Someone mentioned this on the radio today and I just thought I'd relay what they said on here. It seems a very fitting thing to do for a man like Mr. Keightley. If someone can maintain this job for as long as he had every time a new AD or coach came to town, it speaks volumes of not only what type of person he was, but how much they respected his work.
Posted by: Scott Location: KY on Apr 1, 2008 at 09:12 AM
Mr. Wildcat will truely be missed. A true Wildcat. What a blue day here for Wildcat Nation. There is only one place in KY to honor this man and that is to have his funeral at the place he loved to be at most and that is at Rupp. I hope UK honors him the way he should be honored
Posted by: Sheryl Location: Richmond on Apr 1, 2008 at 08:59 AM
Being a UK Wildcats fan for as long as I can remember, I am deeply saddened by the lost of Bill Keightley. No, he did not make the winning shot of any ballgame. No, he did not play a key role in the defense of an opponent. No, he did not coach UK to a national championship. What he did do, is show the BIG BLUE NATION fans what it means to be a true blue fan! The man lived and breathed BLUE! There was never a game I watched that I did not see Mr. Keightley sitting on the bench. Before the UK games, when they announced the players, I always looked for him. I thought it very appropriate that they announced his name and position also. Many coaches have come and gone. Many players who were considered great, have come and gone. Some I have forgotten. But Mr. Keightley was that one true constant for UK basketball. I hope they pay fitting tribute to his legacy. GO BIG BLUE!

This man was University of Kentucky Basketball and the ball court in Rupp Arena should be named Keightley's Court.

Mr. Bill Keightley was a true KENTUCKIAN. Last Thursday, Luther Deaton and I had the pleasure of flying Bill Keightley to Charlotte, N.C. to see the Louisville vs. Tennessee game. He visited with Coach Pitino prior to the game and was elated that Louisville won. Mr. Wildcat, a Great Kentucky Gentleman, will be missed by all. L.D. Gorman

UK basketball has lost one of their very best friends and definitely one of the biggest supporters and fans. Mr. Wildcat will be missed. It will not be the same without him sitting on the UK bench next season. My prayers and sympathy goes out to the Keightley family and to the whole UK basketball program, coaches, players and staff.

Posted by: Craig Location: Versailles on Apr 1, 2008 at 12:05 AM
Bill was the ultimate Big Blue fan! No one cared more about UK basketball than he did. Many things have changed in the program over the years since I became a UK fan in the 60's. But seeing Bill there on the end of bench somehow provided a comfort & confidence that said it would be ok. Thanks for all the memories and your great support of UK Basketball. You will be missed dearly.

Many people have lost a good friend. My husband and I adopted two children from Guatemala and I took them to see him at the Basketball Office, he was such a caring person. I dealt with him where I used to work and he was always so pleasant and such a pleasure to be around. My heart is broken.
