Patrick Jehlicka age 55 of St Paul Park, Minnesota passed away on February 18th, 2026. After a hard fought battle surrounded by family and friends.

Patrick dedicated 34 years of service to Delta Airlines, where he built lasting friendships and took great pride in his work. His strong work ethic and loyalty were evident in everything he did.

He had a deep love for the outdoors and he could often be found enjoying bonfires, spending time with his dogs, and soaking in nature. Music was a major passion in his life, bringing him joy and serving as the soundtrack to many cherished memories. Patrick will be remembered for his kind heart and the warmth he brought to those around him.

He is lovingly survived by his Sister, Miranda Jehlicka (James McConnell); his Girlfriend Anna Gusek and his beloved God children. He also leaves behind many extended family members, friends, and coworkers who will miss him dearly.

He was preceded in death by his Parents, Diane Jehlicka (Simon) and David Jehlicka of St Paul Park and his Grandparents.

A Celebration of Life will be held on April 11th, 2026 at 11 am at The Moose Lodge, 5927 Concord Blvd.; Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota.

Patrick's memory will live on in the stories shared, the music that fills the air, and the hearts of all who knew and loved him!
