Cayden Mahr Death – Spoon River College Alumnus Cayden Mahr of Bushnell, Illinois has sadly passed away. He died on Saturday 5th October 2024 at the age of 23 after a farming accident. The news of his death was known through a Facebook post that reads “Cayden, I can’t believe I’m writing this, but id give anything to do a mountain of laundry for you just one last time.”

Born on June 14, 2001, in Peoria, Illinois, to Daniel Robert and Naydeen Jan (Blout) Mahr, Cayden grew up in a close-knit, hardworking family. His life was marked by his passion for farming, trucking, sports, and a deep love for outdoor activities, which he enjoyed to the fullest. He graduated from A-Town High School in 2019, where he excelled both academically and athletically.

During his time in high school, he developed a reputation as a natural leader and an outstanding athlete. He was actively involved in football and basketball, two sports that he played with both heart and determination. As the only senior on his basketball team, Cayden led A-Town to a remarkable 20-9 season record in 2019, a feat that earned him the coveted title of 2019 All-Area Boys Basketball Player of the Year.

His contributions to the team both on and off the court left a lasting impact on his teammates and coaches. In addition to his athletic achievements, Cayden was deeply involved in the Future Farmers of America (FFA), where his love for agriculture and leadership skills truly shone. As FFA president, he led his chapter with dedication, and his efforts were recognized when he was awarded the prestigious FFA State Degree, a reflection of his commitment to the agricultural community and his desire to help it thrive.

Cayden is survived by his parents, Danny and Naydeen Mahr of Prairie City; siblings, Calen and Aeryn Mahr of Prairie City; maternal grandparents, Armin and Jan Blout of Prairie City; paternal grandparents, John and Elizabeth Hiel of Avon; aunts and uncles, Aaron (Julie) Blout of Prairie City, David (Katina) Mahr of Swansea, Travis (Tisha) Hiel of Prairie City, Trevor (Diana) Hiel of Washington; cousins Bridjet Blout (Luke) Watson, Jeremy Mahr, Braxton Mahr, Johnny Hiel, Jaxon Hiel, Annabelle Hiel, and Emory Hiel as well as other great aunts, uncles, and cousins.
