March 14, 1937 - January 24, 2025
Sherman John Gosch, 87, of Cypress, TX, formerly of Johnston, IA passed away on Friday, Jan. 24, 2025.
Sherman was born March 14, 1937, in Ute, IA to Erhard and Minna (Meyer) Gosch. Sherman grew up in Ute and graduated from Ute High School in 1955. Sherman joined the United States Air Force in 1955 and served until his honorable discharge in 1959. He worked for and retired from Ford Motor Credit Company.
Sherman and Anna (Rabe) were united in marriage on June 21, 1964, at Zion Lutheran Church in Denison. They recently celebrated 60 years of marriage. They were blessed with three children: James, Cari, and Christopher.
Sherman was an avid reader and loved history. He was a skilled woodworker and enjoyed being outside tending to his gardens. He was a collector of model tractors, trains and airplanes. He was gifted with so much talent and creativity. He was a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Ankeny and previously at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Urbandale.
Left to cherish Sherman's memory include his wife, Anna Gosch of Cypress, TX, his children James (Vicki) of Warrenton, VA, Cari (Jeremy) Otto of Magnolia, TX, Christopher (Hillary) of Waunakee, WI, his five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren along with many cousins, nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents: mother Minna Gosch, father Erhard Gosch, brother Norman Gosch, and sister Marjorie Goslar.
A private celebration of life will be held at a later date.
