Adam Ginther

1998 - 2015

Adam Kyle Ginther, 16, of Brighton, Colo., passed away on January 6, 2015 at the Good Samaritan Medical Center, Lafayette, Colo. He was born on September 26, 1998 to Brett and Margaret Ginther. He attended Catholic schools his whole life and was a sophomore at Holy Family High School. Adam actively participated in 4-H from the age of five. He worked on a variety of 4-H projects including lambs, goats, shooting sports, and market steers. He always stated that the Adams County Fair was the best week of every year, because he showed his livestock and hung out with friends all day every day. In 2013, Adam participated in the Catch-A-Calf program at the National Western Stock Show and was thrilled to show this steer at the 2014 Stock Show. Adam dreamed of becoming a farmer his whole life. He lived for working on the corn harvest at the family farm in Brush every fall and going to Pioneer Field Day. He dreamed of studying agriculture at Northeastern Junior College or Kansas State. Adam's most recent pride and joy was his Dodge Ram pickup truck. He named it the "Time Machine." He took long drives on dirt roads often even as far as Last Chance, Colorado. While on these drives, he took wonderful pictures of wheat fields, old abandoned barns, etc. However, Adam's most iconic activity in his truck was "rolling coal" at whatever time seemed necessary. Adam loved country music, which he listened to while on his drives. He also loved riding his dirt bike on the trails by his house, at the IMI racing center, and at the Keenesburg track. He was a talented artist. He mostly drew trucks and farm equipment and recently drew a picture of Elvis for his best friend. Adam was good with his hands and with tools and built many a contraption in the shop, most with wheels. Adam was a gentle soul, kind to all and friend to many. His quiet confidence, simple style and humble manner made him easy to be around. It is with immense sorrow that we part ways for now, anxious to see him again... He is survived by his father Brett, mother Margaret, sister, Alexi, twin brother David, grandfather Ben Ginther, grandmother Marie Smith, and many uncles, aunts and cousins. Funeral Mass was held January 13, 2015 at Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church. Interment at Evergreen Memorial Park.
