Ed was born to Joseph and Jennie Lea Hajek on Oct. 15, 1929, in Fort Worth. He served in the U.S. Army for two years, becoming a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne.
After his military service, he began his own business, Hajek's Garage, at 3771 Hemphill. He expanded it into a utility contracting company and renamed it Services Unlimited. He and his wife, Nina, built a company that prospered for over 43 years. The company continues to operate under the direction of his grandson, Ryan Shada. Ed served as president of Services Unlimited until he passed away.
Ed loved his work. He loved being outdoors and raising cattle on his land in the community of West. Most of all, Ed was totally dedicated to the well-being of his family. They will miss him dearly.

To the Hajek Family-
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I was blessed to have been introduced to Ed & Nina years ago through Miranda's. You have seen my kids grow (Cameron & Bailey Albany) and included us in your family over the years. I will keep you and your family in my daily prayers.

To Nina ,Kiki, Carla and Lori,
Our prayers are with you and your family. Both you and Edward have had such an impact on our lives since we met 25+ years ago. Edward was a wonderful man that cared so deeply for his family. We thought he was "10 feet tall and bullet proof "from the first day we met him. He cast quite a big shadow. We can only imagine how you will miss him. Much love to you all.

I believe I first met Ed and Nina in about 1968, with my boyfriend George, now my husband of over 38 years. I have never met people with such a joy for life and love of family and friends. Ed's heart was as big as the Texas sky. He made everyone feel special. Though George and I hadn't seen them for years, they held a special place in our hearts. Ed will be remembered with fond memories and we will keep Nina and the family in our prayers.

I can't tell you how great it was growing up knowing Ed and Nina. The great times we shared in the "Willows" at Lake Whitney. The "Men", Edward, Ed Toal and Buddy White would go dove hunting and come back to camp in fine form. Edward's straw hat would be full of holes from the target practice Ed and Buddy had with it. He will be truly missed by all.
