November 14, 1957 — April 7, 2012
Edwin F. Goebel Jr., age 54 of Baldwin, formerly of Cottage Grove, died Saturday, April 7, 2012 at the Baldwin Medical Center in Baldwin, WI following a lengthy illness.
A VISITATION will be 4:00-8:00 pm Thursday, April 12, 2012 at KOK FUNERAL HOME, 7676-80th Street S, Cottage Grove. The FUNERAL SERVICE will be 11:00 am Friday, April 13, 2012 the funeral home with visitation one hour prior.
Edwin F. Goebel Jr. was born November 14, 1957 in St. Paul, Minnesota to Edwin and Lois (Crosson) Goebel. He graduated from Mechanic Arts High School in 1975 and was married to Diane John in St. Paul later that year. They made their home in St. Paul for several years before moving to Cottage Grove in 1990 where they enjoyed watching their children grow. Edwin was a carpenter by trade and worked many years for a local fence company. Ed and Diane moved to Wisconsin in 2009.
Ed was a very hard worker and was known as a "jack of all trades." He was the "go to" man in the neighborhood. If your car was broken he would be there in a heartbeat. If your roof was leaking, he would come right over. If you needed a helping hand, he wouldn't hesitate. He was very kind hearted and willing to help anyone that he could. Hunting, fishing, barbequing and four-wheeling were among his favorite things to do. Out of all the things he enjoyed, his family was extremely important to him. He loved spending time with Diane, his children and grandchildren and his beloved dog, Molly. Ed was loved by many people… he will be missed very much.
He is survived by his wife Diane of 36 years; sons, John (Krista), Jeremy (Debbie), Matt (Heather); grandchildren, Clayton, Taylor, Samantha and James; Becka, Austin, TJ and Paige; father, Edwin (Mary Lou); siblings, Janice Rose, Geraldine (Bart) Westeen, Carolyn (Rickey) Nickens, Charles (Marie) Goebel and Catherine (Tom) Kieger; many nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his mother, Lois and his grandparents.
Memorials are preferred in lieu of flowers.
There will be a luncheon after the burial at the American Legion in St Paul Park; 328 E BROADWAY AVE S; ST PAUL PARK, MN 55071

If you would like to bring a dish to share that would be great
