Henry R. Aehlert, 58, of Arlington Heights, passed away suddenly on November 8, 2024. He was born on July 17, 1966 to the late Kenneth J. and Kathryn (nee Kallimanes) Aehlert.

Henry loved God and life. He never met a stranger and made friends everywhere that he went. He grew up in Schaumburg and was always proud to be a Conant Cougar. He was very funny with an infectious laugh and always full of surprises, which was always fun. He made the best coffee, enjoyed reading the newspaper, watching football, going for walks and traveling. Maui was his favorite place on earth. Henry was one of a kind and very loyal. He will be sorely missed and never forgotten.

Henry is survived by his mother, Kathryn, brothers Kurt (Beth) and Kenneth (Lynette) Aehlert, several nieces and nephews, family and friends, and his Best Friend and Soulmate Life Partner of 25 wonderful years, Christina Barlas.

A celebration of life will be announced at a later date. Please omit flowers. Funeral care provided by G.L. Hills Funeral Home and Cremation Center. For more information, please call 847-699-9003 or visit www.glhillsfuneralhome.com .
