Adam Ginther Memorial Scholarship
This memorial scholarship celebrates the life and missed potential of Adam Kyle Ginther. He passed away on January 6, 2015, at the age of sixteen.
Adam attended Catholic schools his whole life and was a sophomore at Holy Family High School in Broomfield when he died. Adam actively participated in 4-H from the age of five, working on a variety of 4-H projects including lambs, goats, shooting sports, and market steers. He always said 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 loved working on the corn harvest at the family farm in Brush every fall and going to Pioneer Field Day. Since he was a little boy, he dreamed of studying agriculture at Northeastern Junior College. Adam's most recent pride and joy was his Dodge Ram pickup truck. He named it the "Time Machine." He often took long drives on dirt roads as far as Last Chance, Colorado. While on these drives, he took wonderful pictures of wheat fields and old abandoned barns. However, Adam's most iconic activity in his truck was "rolling coal" at whatever time seemed necessary. Adam played the guitar and loved country music, which he listened to 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.
Adam was a talented artist. He mostly drew trucks and farm equipment and recently drew a picture of Elvis for his best friend. He was good with his hands and 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. Our sorrow was immense when he died. This scholarship and its benefit to agricultural students will help keep this beautiful young man alive in our hearts.
