Publish in a newspaper

Trent A. Pahnke, of Aurora, IL, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday night, August 23, 2025 at 31 years of age. He was born to Gerald and Doreen Pahnke of Aurora, IL.

Trent graduated from West Aurora High School in 2012 and in recent years was employed at Penske Logistics. He began his career there in an entry-level position and, through hard work and dedication, rose steadily within the company, ultimately becoming a supervisor.

Trent was extremely proud of his children and their accomplishments in school, he enjoyed watching them grow into bright, lively children. He adored his wife and felt he met his perfect match in life. Trent valued his family deeply; even though he was a quiet person, he was always willing to listen and support his family unit. Trent's kindness and compassion will be deeply missed.

Survivors include his wife, Ianna Pahnke; his children, Zayden, Livy, and Rixten Pahnke; his parents, Gerald and Doreen Pahnke; and his sister, Morgan (Mathew) Sheridan.

Trent was preceded in death by his Grandparents, Harold and Marion Pahnke, and Grandmother Sara Wilson.

A visitation will be held on Saturday, August 30, 2025, from 1 PM to 4 PM at The Healy Chapel, 332 W. Downer Pl., Aurora, IL 60506.
