Bradley James Hajicek

Bradley James Hajicek, age 37, of Oakdale, Minnesota, passed away peacefully after a long battle with terminal cancer on November 9th, 2025, at his home surrounded by his loving family.
Bradley was born in Winona, Minnesota. He is survived by his devoted wife, Breanna; their two beautiful daughters, Delaney and Kinslee, who were the absolute light of his life; his parents Brad Hajicek and Karen (Mike) Albrecht; his in-laws Chris (Aaron) Woodward and Patrick Anderson; sisters Stacy (Clinton) and Leslie (Kevin); sisters-in-law Haley and Alexys (Ilizah); and nieces and nephews Makayla, Peyton, Dontae, Rylan, Addison, Faith, and Ma'Shai. He was preceded in death by his beloved sister, Kelly.
Bradley was a hardworking provider who took great pride in supporting and caring for his family. He truly cherished his role as a husband and father – his greatest joy came from spending time with Breanna and their girls, making memories that will forever live in their hearts.
He had a deep love for music, especially the band Shinedown, whose songs were the soundtrack to many moments in his life. Brad's kindness, humor, and unwavering dedication to those he loved will be remembered by all who knew him.
Bradley found a new sense of faith in the Catholic Church, which brought him a lot of comfort and connection. He was very grateful to the loving community of the Church of St. Peter who supported him and his family during his long battle, and the clergy who frequently visited him.
