“We are all in shock at the loss of this amazing young man. He was sweet, funny, loving and had a great future a head of him. I’ll never understand why his life was taken,” Teuerle’s aunt, Sandie Passuntino-Nantz, said in a social media post.

The crash remains under investigation by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Accident Investigation Unit and the Lake in the Hills Police Department.
