Adam Winter Obituary
He was preceded in death by his cousin, Graham Winter Stingley, Monument CO and his grandfather, Winton A. Winter, Sr., Ottawa, KS.
After three years living in Taos, NM, the family moved to Colorado Springs in 1995 where Adam graduated from Air Academy High School in 2010. He graduated In May, 2015 from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a near perfect GPA and was elected a member of Phi Beta Kappa, the national academic honor society. Adam's plans included a career as a physician and, at his death, he was employed by Carepoint P.C. as a Medical Scribe in the ER of two hospitals in Denver. He was a voracious reader, had great taste in music, film and literature and was thriving within a strong base of close friends and family.
A funeral service is scheduled for Saturday, December 12, at 1:30 pm at the Grace and St. Stephens Episcopal Church at 601 N. Tejon, Colorado Springs. The Winters are hosting a reception at The Mining Exchange Hotel at 8 S. Nevada Ave, Colorado Springs, following the service.
Donations of any amount are suggested in Adam's memory to Camp Kesem, a nationwide community, driven by passionate college student leaders, that supports children through and beyond their parent's cancer, at https://donate.kesem.org/fundraise?fcid=580000.

My heart has been heavy since learning of Bears passing. My daughter has been blessed to have attended Camp Kesem since its inception by CU Boulder. We pray for comfort and peace for those whose lives he touched. Camp this summer will not be the same! :(

Dear Winter family,
I just found out about Adam, and I am heartbroken. My prayers and condolences to all of you. I had the honor of teaching all three of your beautiful and precious children. Adam was a delight to work with and was such a talented actor. He was so creative and surprised me all the time with the character he created on stage. He made me laugh. Your children were my joy at school. Thank you for sharing and entrusting your children with me. I was one lucky teacher to have all three children cross my path. Much love and comforting hugs, Karen Swartley

Adam, Melissa, Sarah and Mary,
Susan and I are so, so sorry to have just learned of your tremendous loss. There is no greater love than that of a son or daughter, and the loss is so very difficult and hard to understand. (As you know, we lost our son, David, 31, in 2006.) We send our heartfelt prayers and condolences at this time of great sorrow. And, although we do not know Sarah and Mary, we do know that the loss of a brother can be even more difficult. (We know that our son, Bryan, still struggles, maybe more than we do, with the loss of his brother and best friend.) We lift our prayers in Adam's name.

Hello, my son went to school with Adam in Boulder.
I know that a large group of responsible, intelligent, beautiful young men are left heartbroken by Adam's early passing!
What a gifted young man he is.
I pray his gifts will continue to live on and motivate a generation of his peers and admirers.
We are always left wondering why such beauty must pass too soon. So truly saddened to hear of Adams death.

I worked with Adam at North Suburban Medical Center. He would often be my scribe. He was a wonderful person, a sweet guy to be around. He and I would listen to music together as we worked and we shared some common interests. I am deeply sorry for your loss and send my condolences to you and his entire community.
