Edwin “Ed” John Sturm was born July 4, 1951 to George and Delores (Windhorn) Sturm. He attended high school and enlisted in the United States Army. Ed proudly served his country from 1968 to 1971. He then began a 30-year career at New Ulm Manufacturing, which eventually became Caterpillar. Ed then worked at Aschenbrenner Trucking until he retired. Ed was united in marriage to Jean Guggisberg on January 13, 1994 in New Ulm.

Ed was an avid racoon hunter. He would travel all around the United States to attend circuits with his competition dogs. He also enjoyed going motorcycling and working outside. Ed especially loved his morning coffee clubs with all his friends, as well as going out driving just to look around. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him. Blessed be his memory.

Memorials are preferred to the Disabled Veterans National Foundation.
