A former steel mill worker in the Midwest, Radosevich began his career with horses competing in horse shows and by unloading trailers after his shift. He then began training Quarter Horses before moving to Thoroughbreds in what would become a training career that spanned more than 50 years. He loved attending horse sales, farm and livestock auctions, watching horse racing, detailing his trucks and spending time with his family.

According to Equibase, Radosevich trained 558 winners from 5,127 starters since online records began being kept in 1980.

In addition to his wife of 62 years, he is survived by his children, Joey Radosevich, Jeff (Yvonne) Radosevich, Jill Radosevich Chamblin, and Jake (Shelly) Radosevich; grandchildren, Jackie (Brian) Watson, Jennifer Radosevich, Jamie (Brian) Hernandez, Jacob Radosevich, Justin Radosevich, Josie Radosevich, Matthew Chamblin, Michael Chamblin and Joshua Radosevich; as well as eight great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his brothers, Jack and Bob Radosevich and grandson, Josh Radosevich.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Permanently Disabled Jockey's Fund, PO Box 803, Elmhurst, IL 60126
