In Loving Memory of Henry "Hank" Ratajczak, age 80, of Satellite Beach, Florida

A Celebration of Life for Henry "Hank" Ratajczak, age 80, will be held at a later date, surrounded by the family and friends he loved so dearly.

Hank passed away peacefully on the morning of Thursday, November 21, 2024, at Livingston Regional Hospital. Born on December 28, 1943, in Fords, New Jersey, to the late Henry and Josephine Ratajczak, Hank lived a life filled with love, laughter, and a passion for the things that brought him joy.

Hank was a true character, known for his big heart and his unmistakable charm. His love for classic cars was unmatched, often sharing with a grin that his wife’s passion was for horses, while his was for horsepower. He was a helping hand to anyone in need, always willing to go above and beyond for his friends, family, and even strangers. To know Hank was to know someone truly unique—someone who brought color, humor, and warmth to every room he entered.

Above all, Hank was a man of faith and a family man. His love for God and his family was the driving force in his life. Whether tinkering with cars or simply enjoying the company of those he held dear, Hank left an indelible mark on everyone he met.

Hank is survived by his devoted wife of 35 years, Denise Ratajczak, of Monroe, TN; his daughters, Tiffany Bulian and husband Mike of Viera, FL, and Hillary Nichole Eubanks and husband Matt of Macon, GA; and his beloved grandchildren, Brandon, Tucker, Kaitlyn, and Caden, who brought him immense pride and joy. He is also survived by his special cousin, Toni Plewa; his niece, Ashley Plewa; and a host of family members and friends who will deeply miss his kind spirit and unforgettable personality.

In addition to his parents, Hank was preceded in death by his son, Jeff Ratajczak, whose memory he carried with him always.

Hank’s life was one of passion, generosity, and a love that extended far and wide. His family finds comfort in knowing he is now at peace, reunited with those who went before him. Until his Celebration of Life, his loved ones hold close the many memories of a man who was truly one of a kind.
