Rudy Reznicek

"Rudy" Reznicek, 64, of Bloomington, MN, passed away on February 11, 2026 after a courageous battle with cancer. Born on November 4, 1961 to Rudolf and Elisabeth Reznicek in Heidelberg, Germany, Rudy grew up in many places and eventually settled in Bloomington and raised four children with Leanne, his former wife of 27 years. Rudy is survived by: his mother Liz, his children Amber (Preston) Ogle, Amy (Jesse) Bjorlin, Rudy (Athena) Reznicek, and Natasha Reznicek; his grandchildren Brooklyn, Kaylee, Beckham, Josie, Lincoln, Hudson and Callie; sisters Sylvia (Paul) Pete, Tatjana McKenna and Angela Reznicek; nieces, nephews, and many others who loved him. Rudy was united in Heaven with: his father Rudolf, his son David, and soul dog Elvis. Rudy proudly worked 25+ years at Milltronics with many different titles - Machine Assembly, Field Service, Shipping and Receiving, and finally Sales. As "Mr. Fix It" and with his continued love and passion for machinery, he ran his own business for years during and after Milltronics. In the most recent months of his life, he showed love and bravery for his children and grandchildren above himself. He was stronger than his body told him he should be and protected his family by preparing for things he knew would be difficult to endure. There are not words that properly express how grateful and proud we are of him in the way he took charge of his journey and found ways to take care of us. The love shared between us will be carried forever. He is remembered in a million ways - bald eagles, ice water, Coke, chocolate, ice cream, original Gatorade, Cobb salads, havarti and Brie cheese, roast beef hoagies, freezies, chocolate Advent calendars, bonfires with gasoline, trampolines, boat rides, fishing, tubing, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, steak and potatoes, soy sauce and garlic salt, dogs, short shorts, mustaches, perms, learning how to drive, feeding those he loved, his sense of humor, his professionalism, his dedication, his love of adventure, creating a fun, exciting, caring and memorable childhood, and many more ways; too many to list. Rudy was a beloved son, brother, and friend to many. He was a loving father and Opa, and is deeply missed. Many people have asked about funeral arrangements, thank you! In lieu of a formal service, Rudy's family would love any notes or memories you're able to share. No matter how little, it brings so much joy to hear about him. Rudy's family will be participating in his honor in the PanCan Purple Stride walk on April 25th in Como Regional Park in St. Paul.
