Thomas Michael Hadican, 82, of Saint Louis, Missouri, passed away peacefully on November 10, 2025, in his hometown, surrounded by the love of his family. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, Thomas leaves behind a legacy rooted in faith, family, and friends.
Born on July 12, 1943, Thomas shared over five decades of marriage with his beloved wife, Deborah Hadican (Monti). Together, they built a home filled with laughter, love, and devotion. He loved his children—Thomas Hadican, Jr. (Tina), Kevin Hadican (Kara), Kelly Crabtree (Ted), Colin Hadican (Candace), Erin Grate (Kyle), and Bridget Price (Nick), each of whom carries forward his values of compassion and perseverance.
His pride and joy were his 16 grandchildren – Grace, Avery, Ella, Reagan, Josie, Shea, Joey, Gabe, Seamus, Brinley, Louie, Charlotte, Jacob, Laney, Clara, and Noah.
Thomas was the beloved son of Joseph and Mary Hadican. He grew up in a warm and close-knit Catholic family alongside his siblings J. Martin Hadican (Gail), Eileen Nebel (Herman), Sr. Mary Kay Hadican (Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet), and Denny Hadican (Mary), From an early age, Thomas embodied hard work, dedication, and integrity—qualities that would shape every part of his life.
He spent his professional career working in the Automotive industry and found a home at Dave Sinclair Ford for the last 43 years. Tom’s passion for people, the car business, and the Sinclair family, made him one of the all-time greats.
When Tom wasn’t working or with his family, he spent most of his time in service to the Catholic Church. He went to Mass every morning at St. Michael the Archangel parish. He frequently visited and had a great passion for Most Holy Trinty Catholic Church and St. Josephine Bakhita Catholic Church, attending Mass at these locations and leading several fundraising events for both. His perfect Sunday always included a visit to the Holy Spirit Adoration Sisters (The Pink Sisters).
Thomas’s family remembers him most for the simple and quiet acts of kindness and generosity that defined his life. Whether gathering around the dinner table, offering words of guidance, or lending a helping hand, he lived with humility and purpose. His presence was steady, and his love for his family unwavering.
His many friends remember him as someone that was always there for them, in good times and bad. He cherished his relationships with lifelong friends from the old neighborhood and loved making new friends every day as he never met a stranger.
Family and friends are invited to celebrate Thomas’s life during the visitation on Sunday, November 16, 2025, from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Kutis Funeral Home, 10151 Gravois Road, St. Louis, MO 63123.

In Loving Memory of Tom Hadigan
I had the privilege of knowing Tom for many years—not just as a trusted salesman at Dave Sinclair Ford, but as a dear friend. Over the years, we shared more than just business; we worked together on projects close to his heart, projects inspired by his unwavering kindness and deep faith.
His family remembers him for the simple acts of kindness that defined his life—quiet gestures of love and support, words of guidance at just the right time, and a steady hand when it was needed most. He lived with humility and purpose, making those around him feel seen and cherished.
Many that knew Tom, I’m sure know him as a man who was always present—whether at birthdays, hardships, or everyday moments—someone who treasured lifelong friendships from his old neighborhood and welcomed new friends every day. First hand I can tell about that Tom never met a stranger; he made friends easily and loved deeply.
Today, we mourn the loss of a truly remarkable man, yet we also celebrate the life of someone whose kindness and love made a difference in so many lives. To Tom’s family, I offer my deepest love and support during this difficult time. May his gentle soul rest peacefully, forever in our hearts.
I knew Tom for 54 years and he was always a great friend to the Martorelli family! May his beautiful smile lighten the heavenly skies! He will be missed by so many!
Sending Heartfelt Prayers Love and Condolences To The Entire Family And Friends May The Good Lord Confort and Strengthen You All Today and the Days To Come Tom’s Leadership and Memories Will Live On Trough All That Knew Him.
Lindell Union and Family 🙏🏾❤️
