This memorial resolution mourns the passing of Aaron LaShawn Pittman-Teague, a 28-year-old Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) worker who died on January 6, 2025. Born in Kankakee in 1995, Pittman-Teague was a graduate of Ottawa Township High School and Illinois Valley Community College who worked at IDOT, DHL, and the Illinois Department of Corrections. He was known as a "gentle giant" with a remarkable work ethic, passionate about music as a sound engineer and label owner, and involved in his community through youth basketball coaching. The resolution highlights his personal life, noting he was married to Melissa in 2023 and was a bonus dad to her daughter Emery, and survived by his parents, grandmother, siblings, and extended family. The Illinois Senate formally expresses deep condolences to his family and friends, acknowledging his infectious energy, kindness, and significant impact on those around him, and resolves to present a copy of the resolution to his family as a symbol of sympathy.
