Robert Anthony "Bobby" Winzenried, IV, U.S. Army (Ret.) obituary

Robert Winzenried, Obituary

Robert was a veteran of the United States Army, where he earned several medals, including the Army Commendation Medal with Valor while he was deployed in Iraq. He served as a Supply Specialist and completed two tours in Iraq.

He was born in Flemington, New Jersey, but grew up on several military bases due to his father's service. Throughout his life, Robert has traveled the world, going to such places as Korea, England, Germany, and many more countries. Robert's imagination as a child developed his creativity, and his passions included writing, photography, and drawing. He loved concerts, movies, and spending time in nature. Colorado was perfect for him as he loved the mountains.

His biggest love, though, was his family, especially his son, Jacob.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Donna Winzenried.

Robert is survived by his father, Robert; his brothers, Zebulon and Josiah; his son; Jacob Ji-Hu; fiancée, Shara; sisters-in-law, Joanna and Rachael; and nieces, Cadence and Temperance. He is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins who loved him.

Memoral Service, 1:00PM, Saturday, October 8, 2016 at First United Methodist Church, 420 North Nevada Avenue, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80903.

Bob you were always such a great friend to me. You always lived each moment to its fullest and we have a lot to learn from you still. The world would be a different place if more people had your kind heart. It was so amazing to see how much you loved your son too. I hope he never forgets how much you love him. I am moving back to Germany this month and I am going to go back to Wackernheimer Hof which is actually in Ingelheim now! And I am going to have them set a place for you at the table. You will be there with us I know. I hope you find peace in heaven with your Mom and look down on us often. I also pray for your family's loss, that they may find peace as well.

Over the past few years you were the best friend I have ever had here in Colorado. I remember when we were neighbors and I would talk Korean with Jacob. My life is truly blessed because you were in it. You will always be an inspiration to me. Our seets on Sunday morning at church will always be sacred.

Bobby, you were one of the best friends that any person could ever have. The first time I met you at McCully Barracks, I automatically knew that you would be a friend for life. Through all the hard times we shared, you never lost your motivation, or your moral compass. You were truly one of a kind, and you will be missed by every person who ever came into contact with you. I love you Wiz, and until we meet again, keep heaven rockin for all of us...

Bob! We never met in person but I felt like I knew you from all your FB posts and following you and Jacob and all your good times, I know you were a wonderful guy based on how wonderful your mother was. I was so blessed to be touched by her and in return by you also! I know you will be missed by so many that loved you, but I bet Donna was there to meet you at those heavenly gates. Tell your mom I said Hi and that I still think of her and all she did for everyone around her! God Bless!

I am overwhelmingly hurt that you're gone, Bobby. I am still in despair. You're amazingly beautiful, and you're genuinely altruistic. I remember the time when you bought food for a homeless person at Taco Bell, and the time when you bought me my first Aerosmith cd. Also, you and Josiah were there for me when my first girlfriend broke up with me. I will always love you, Bobby, and I know you're happy to be with mom.

Love always, Jonathan Christopher Lane

Words fall short at a time like this but I will try. We can all look back on the good memories that Bobby brought and smile, laugh; and yes we may cry. May we take comfort in knowing there is one more angel above us. With deepest sympathy and love during this difficult time.

Don't know what to say really....I have know Bobby since the early 90's when our fathers got stationed together in Germany. The first time I met Bobby and his family was in a hotel where we were waiting to get into military housing. It was nice to have someone my own age. And what was even cooler was that we ended up being neighbors so that worked out! Thank you for all the good memories that we shared together. My prayers go out to you and your family. Say hello to your mom for me. Your friend always!
