Jacobs senior killed in rollover crash remembered as 'loving,' 'loyal'

A 17-year-old who was killed last week in a Lake in the Hills crash has been identified.

Riely Jacob Teuerle of Lake in the Hills died at Northwestern Medicine Hospital in Huntley after he was involved in a rollover crash Aug. 2, the McHenry County coroner's office said Wednesday.

"Riely was a loyal and valued employee of Rookies in Huntley," according to Teuerle's obituary. "Riely was a loving and devoted son, brother, uncle, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend. He loved spending time and spoiling his 3 nephews and 4 nieces."

Teuerle was going to be a senior this year at Jacobs High School in Algonquin.

The crash was called in about 10 p.m. Aug. 2 near Rakow Road between McHenry and Pyott roads. Honda Civic, a Nissan Sentra and a Volkswagen Passat were involved.

Teuerle was in the front passenger's seat of the Volkswagen, authorities said.

The drivers of the Volkswagen and Nissan also were taken to the hospital, but their injuries were not disclosed.

Visitation for Teuerle will start at 3 p.m. today at Miller Funeral Home in West Dundee, followed by a 7:30 p.m. prayer service, his obituary said.
