Jeffrey "Jeff"

S. Zajicek

Jeffrey "Jeff " S. Zajicek, 55, of Waterloo, passed away on Tuesday, June 25, 2024 due to a long battle with type 1 diabetes.

He was born on April 16, 1969 in Madison, WI to Mason and Carol (Roen) Zajicek. He had three boys who were all special to him in their own ways. He enjoyed spending time with his boys whenever he could.  His eldest son Nik and him became best friends over the years.  They would talk daily about their lives after Nik moved to Oklahoma to help his elderly grandfather. His family will always remember the love he had for Christmas and the Christmas tree given to him a few years back by a very special person in his life, the tree has stayed lit every day since.

Jeff was an avid outdoorsman. Anything Jeff could be doing outside he would do. He loved to fish, hunt, camp, shovel snow, and just be outdoors in nature. He loved nature and his little dog "Jingles".  He loved having cookouts with family and friends, mudding with the UTV's and ATV's, and most of all, watching his niece, Sara, and her truck " The Big Bad Wolf " compete in the Badger Truck Pulls. He was so proud of her and Vince.  Jeff found the most peace when he would sit by his son, Brandon, at Salem Cemetery.

He spent many years working construction outdoors with Lake Mills Blacktop and Forest Landscaping. Jeff enjoyed driving dump truck and working with the large equipment.

Anyone who knew Jeff, knew he could be a handful.  But our family all loved each other no matter what.

He is survived by his parents Mason and Carol Zajicek (Jefferson,Wi) ; Sister Amy Erb (Mike Walter) ( Watertown,Wi) ; two sons Nikkita and Daniel Zajicek (Miami, Ok) ; two nieces Sara Lenartowski ( Vince Braasch) (Watertown, Wi) ; Sidney Lenartowski ( Dane Radebaugh)(Watertown,Wi); God-Parents Neil and Linda Roen (Blue River, Wi); Best Friend Pete Stark( Wendy) (Holcomb, Wi) and many other close family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his infant son Brandon Zajicek.

We would like to say a very special thank you to his favorite care giver and friend, Tiffany Vinje.  We'd also like to say thank you so very much to Angela Butzine, Nicole Sweeney, and Lamar of Victory Vision assisted living. Y'all were great to Jeff and with Jeff.  Thank you again!

A Celebration of Life will be held on July 21 from 2-6pm at the Azatalan Inn shed.

Burial will take place in Salem Cemetery at a later date.
