Edward “Ed” S. Gogolewski, 64, of Monument, Colorado entered into eternal peace on October 25, 2019. Ed was born on August 24, 1955 in Paterson, New Jersey to parents Felicia and John Gogolewski. He enlisted in the Army and was stationed at Fort Carson. After his honorable discharge he decided to make Colorado Springs home.
Ed loved cars and worked at several car dealerships in Colorado Springs. This passion drove him to open his own dealership, Auto Express. So, it’s only fitting he met the love of his life, Debbie Cole, when selling her a car. Looks like they both got a good deal.
Ed’s love for cars was overshadowed by his love for family. He cherished Debbie and their children Blake and Alicia. The family enjoyed many summers at the Lake of the Ozarks and Pueblo Reservoir boating and just spending time outdoors. Together they loved traveling, skiing and riding ATVs.
Sadly, Ed lost his love Debbie to cancer in 2013. He deeply grieved her death. While sharing their grief, Ed formed a rich and meaningful relationship with Blake, who had just graduated high school and was still living at home. They shared life, both at home and at work. Ed taught Blake the car business and was incredibly proud when Blake took on more and more responsibility, so he could look forward to retirement. Blake and Ed were father and son, but more importantly, best friends.
Ed is survived his son Blake, daughter Alicia, and mother Felicia. He was preceded in death by his father John and his brother Rich.
He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
