KEITH ALLEN GOTSCH

KEITH ALLEN GOTSCH, 61, of Fort Wayne, passed away Tuesday, July 12, 2022, at his home. Born in Fort Wayne, he was a son of the late Marcus and Betty Gotsch. He received his B.S. in Engineering from Purdue University Fort Wayne and M.B.A. from Indiana Wesleyan University. Keith was a dedicated employee of Zimmer Biomet for 27 years, retiring as Senior Processing Engineer in the Knee Division. He was an avid lover and supporter of the outdoors, as a fisherman, hunter, and member of hunting retriever clubs. This love of the outside was passed on to his family through the many memorable camping trips he planned to Michigan and southern Indiana. He was happiest when he could open his home to family and friends, always cooking up a feast for everyone. He enjoyed volunteering as an usher at Holy Cross Lutheran Church for over 10 years. Keith was known for his humor, caring personality, hard-work ethic, and will be missed immeasurably. Keith is survived by his wife of 33 years, Susan Gotsch of Fort Wayne; children, Megan (Ian) Jones of Cincinnati, Ohio, Mitchell (Madison) Gotsch of Denver, Colo., and Mallory Gotsch of Indianapolis, Ind.; siblings, Gary (Debbie) Gotsch, Don (Diane) Gotsch, June Daly, and Cheryl (Rex) Hazelet; and sister-in-law, Diana Gotsch. He was also preceded in death by his brother, Mark Gotsch. Service is 11 a.m. Monday, July 18, 2022, at Concordia Lutheran Church, 4245 Lake Ave., with calling one hour prior.
