TRENT "TD" VELEKER

Trent "TD" Veleker was a man who carried the spirit of the outdoors in his soul and the love of his family in his heart. His life was filled with the simple joys that mattered most—days spent playing disc golf with friends, the quiet peace of fishing by the water, and the tranquility of hikes through the forest. Trent didn’t just enjoy the outdoors; he found solace and connection there, a reflection of his grounded and thoughtful nature.

A proud Chicago Bulls and Cubs fan, Trent’s love for his teams was matched only by his passion for cooking. Whether experimenting in the kitchen or strumming his guitar with the talent inherited from his father, Brian, Trent embraced life with creativity and enthusiasm. He was a man of many skills, but it was his love for his family that truly defined him.

Above all else, Trent was most proud of being a father to his two beautiful daughters. They were his light, his purpose, and his greatest joy. Every decision he made, every dream he had, revolved around his love for them. He carried the pride of fatherhood with him in everything he did, and his devotion to his girls will remain a legacy of love they carry with them forever.

Trent’s loss leaves an unfillable space in the hearts of his mother, his siblings, and the rest of his family and friends. His laugh, his warmth, and his ability to bring people together are irreplaceable, yet his spirit lives on in the countless lives he touched.
