Lifetime Sanford resident Quinten Reese Crowther, 101, passed away peacefully in Alamosa, Colorado on January 9, 2025. Quinten was born March 29, 1923 in Sanford, Colorado to Alma LeRoy and Sarah Ivy "Iva" Brothers Crowther, the fourth of eight children. He was married and sealed for time and all eternity to Thelma Ruth Rindlisbacher, in the Idaho Falls, Idaho Temple on June 12, 1946.

Quinten was born and raised in Sanford, Colorado. His dad passed away on Quinten's 12th birthday leaving a large family, during the depression. He learned responsibility at an early age, how to work hard, take care of family and make things last. In his early married life, he farmed and was an accomplished plasterer. He plastered many buildings in the area including work on the Sanford LDS church. He was later employed by the Sanford Public School. He was a dedicated employee and retired from there after 24 years. He was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints where his service and love for others was shown. He enjoyed spending hours working in his yard and large garden where he had some of the best raspberries. He loved spending time hunting, fishing & gathering wood. He always looked for reasons to go to the mountains with his kids and grandkids. He even visited elk camp at age 99. He shared many stories with his family how he spent time in the mountains. This love of the outdoors has been passed on to his children and grandchildren. Above all else, he was a steadfast patriarch of his family with a love for each member. His legacy will forever live on in their hearts.

Quinten is survived by his children: Bruce (Susan) Crowther of Colorado Springs, Colorado, Glade (Pamelyn) Crowther of Idaho Falls, Idaho, Lenore (David) Hoover of Springville, Utah, Layne (Marilyn) of Littleton, Colorado. Ten grandchildren, twenty-nine great grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild, his sister Delora Fox of Idaho Falls, Idaho, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
