Eric G. Holzem, age 59 of Monroe, died unexpectedly on Friday, September 25, 2009 at his home. Eric was born September 22, 1950 in Germany, and later adopted by an American couple, Douglas and Caroline Holzem.
He attended high school in Beloit and worked for Beloit Corp. for many years.
He moved to Monticello, and most recently resided in Monroe at Wyndamere Apts., whose residents became his "family." Eric was a kind and gentle soul who loved animals, the outdoors, and in his earlier years was an avid hunter. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was loved by all who knew him.
He is survived by a dear friend, Mary Leeder of Monroe; special friends, Karen Rogahn and Georgia Standiford. He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Doug Holzem.
A memorial service to celebrate Eric's life for his "family of friends" and anyone who wishes to attend will be held at Wyndamere Apts. community room at 10 a.m. on Saturday, October 3, 2009. Burial will be in Mount Thabor Cemetery, Beloit.
