Obituary of Edward Lee Gotzh
Edward (Ed) Lee Gotzh, 57, passed away in Springdale, Arkansas surrounded by family on March 18, 2023. He was born in Cloquet, MN to Gerald (Jerry) and Phyllis Gotzh.
Ed’s career as a professional truck driver started in 1984 working in Hibbing and Duluth, MN. Later moving to Minneapolis, MN working several years for ABF Freight. In 2007 he moved to Bella Vista, Arkansas working as a contracted driver for Fed Ex.
Growing up in Minnesota, Ed enjoyed the outdoors and especially the yearly walleye fishing trips. Whether fish were caught or not, it was always a fun time.
His passionate/adventurous and mischievous nature started early with dirt bikes and fast cars. Eventually he found a love for riding. A smile would always appear when talking about one of his Harley’s and pure happiness to his soul could be felt when he rode.

He is survived by his daughters Brianna and Kelsey Gotzh; parents, Gerald and Phyllis Gotzh; brother Matt Graif; sister Paula (Jim) Anderson; and many other family members and friends.
