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 🙏🏾❤️
Thinking of all the Hadican family and offering my thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy to each and everyone. Rest in peace Tom.
Today I want to take a moment to honor the life of my friend and former coworker, Tom Hadican. Tom worked with me at Dave Sinclair Ford for about two and a half years, and in that time he became so much more than just a teammate. He was the kind of person whose presence made the day better the moment he walked in.
Tom was a true family man—the kind who lived every day with purpose, love, and gratitude. He talked about his family often, and you could hear the pride in his voice every time he mentioned his grandkids. Sixteen grandchildren, and he adored every single one of them. They were his joy, his legacy, and his favorite topic of conversation.
He was also a man of deep faith, someone who lived out his values quietly and consistently. Tom led by example—through kindness, patience, and the way he treated everyone around him. If you were having a rough day, he noticed. If you needed help, he showed up. He truly embodied what it meant to care for others.
Losing Tom leaves a real emptiness here, but we’re grateful for the time we had with him, the laughs we shared, and the warmth he brought to our team. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, especially those precious grandkids he loved so much.
Rest easy, Tom. You left an impact on all of us, and we won’t forget you. 🙏💙
Sending my heartfelt condolences to the Hadican cousins and your entire family. I’ve been praying for Tom since I heard the news of his illness last Saturday. I will remember him for his kindness and his big smile. May God be with you all and comfort you.
It is with the deepest sorrow that I express my heartfelt sympathy to Tom’s family and friends during this incredibly difficult time.
The news of everyone’s loss has weighed heavy on my heart, and I’m sending all my prayers, strength and love for everyone who loved him.
He was a truly amazing person, and his memory will be forever a source of comfort and inspiration.
Blessings,
Chris Iocca

Dear Debbie and family,
I am so sorry to hear that Tom has passed. Debbie you are blessed with a wonderful family that are surrounding you with love, as they grieve along with you. All those years while working at Most Holy Trinity, I marveled at how Tom masterminded fundraising efforts to support the church. He was an amazing man.
I will be out of town for the wake and funeral but you will be in my thoughts. A mass card is coming. Love to all
Dear Sister Mary Kay,
Sincere condolences for you and your family on the loss of your dear brother. The obituary and other comments here are a wonderful picture of his good life and faith in action. I know you know you will see him again.
Love and prayers,

He was the first person to talk to me after my mom’s funeral. I walked down the stairs of
St. Ambrose & Tom told me “there will never be a day you won’t think about & remember your mother…..trust me”…..then he gave me a big hug.
And ……..I think about my mom everyday since & think about that exchange almost as much.
My deepest condolences to entire Hadican family ….I love you guys.
Mrs Hadican and Family,
What a beautiful recap on Tom’s life! My condolences. Its truly a blessing to be surrounded by a large family as everyone grieves such a loss. I was equally moved to read more about Tom’s faith and devotion to the Mother Church! We all benefited from knowing such a fine individual.
– Peace be with you.
It is with our deepest sorrow that we extend our sympathy to you and your family and the entire Hadican family during this difficult time.
What a guy I’m going to miss some very much I am a relative I’ve known him for roughly 30 years through Dave Sinclair never treated me or anyone in my family like we were customers he always treated us as family always ask questions always listen to answers and always provided me with info about a very loving family my sympathies. I will not be able to make the funeral parlor but I will be at the funeral on Monday to celebrate this wonderful man’s life God bless you all
God bless the Hadican family.
Tom was a dear friend of my late father.
Every interaction with him was a smile a hug and a kiss.
He walked with the most confident “swagger”, and is the reason we all continued to buy our cars from him.
From my family to yours- our heartfelt sympathies.
I have known Tommy for over 70 years, he remained the same great person his entire life. He was always there to help anyone who needed help.
Rest in peace Tom
