Edward "Eddie" Dale Kitzman passed away February 7, 2025 at East Morgan County Hospital in Brush, CO. Eddie was born April 22, 1956 to Theadore and Clara (Rohn) Kitzman in Greeley, CO, the fourth of five children.

Eddie was a member of the Wiggins High School class of 1974, and after his high school years he worked with his parents, and siblings farming and trucking. In the late 1970's he stayed in Denver while running truck where he met many friends and made memories that he cherished his whole life.

Eddie met Dorothy Graves in the spring of 1981, and they were married March 7, 1982. After they married, they moved to Hoyt, CO where he continued to farm and truck with his family.

In 2012, Eddie gained a Son-in-law Max, who he enjoyed going on outings with or just working on the farm and equipment with. In 2019, he got one of his greatest joys in life of becoming a grandpa, he was excited for each one of his granddaughters to come along and would have a gift or treat waiting for them when they came to visit.
