Eian Michael Wintz, born April 17th, 1988 in Riverside, CA, passed away near Bogus Basin road in Boise, ID July 22nd, 2014. Beloved son of Michael Wintz of San Diego, CA and Kim and Pati Hatch of Nampa, ID, Eian was taken from this world much too soon, but undisputedly left it a better place than he found it. Around the time he learned to walk, Eian set out on a lifelong mission to get more than his share of work done. He strived to carry his own weight plus some, to serve others through his now legendary work ethic, to comfort with his generously kind, giving nature and to set an example with his principled beliefs. To all those blessed enough to have had him in their lives (and undoubtedly more than a few total strangers), Eian was the young man who never hesitated to roll up his sleeves and lend not one, but both of his hands with any task, no matter how big or small, laborious or mundane, at the mere mention of there being a need. Because of his willingness to dig, lift, carry, climb, and crawl without personal regard, he could usually be found covered head to toe with something or other; hay-dust and sweat, sandy mud and concrete, and often grease and oil from working on other peoples' bicycles, motorcycles, jeeps, and trucks. While he was still in junior high school he took up working at multiple farms around Nampa at the same time, doing everything there from spraying weeds, setting irrigation tubes, corrugating fields and even managed to drive Steve Whitaker's tractor without hurting any of his precious baby corn. Eian earned his Eagle Scout and graduated from Meridian High School in 2006 then went on to serve a full-time mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Kobe, Japan. Upon returning to the United States, Eian was hired on with several different construction crews in the Treasure Valley, learning the ins and outs and finer points of concrete work. He travelled to Nevada with his Uncle Dan to haul belly dump trailers for road construction projects there and eventually made his way north to Alaska with the Schlumberger company to find his fortune pulling oil out of the frozen tundra. He held a commercial driver's license, a pilot's license, spoke fluent Japanese, was an avid motorcyclist, an adventurous mountain biker, and for as big and burly of a man as Eian was, he had a notorious and comical fear of even the smallest and most harmless spiders. Services will be held (TIME) at the Meridian West Stake Center at 1985 N Black Cat Rd, and then Eian will be laid to rest in the Star City Cemetery at 9350 W Floating Feather Rd. Eian is survived by his younger brothers: Brenden, Bryan, and Wyatt. Service: Friday, August 1, 2014 11:00 a.m. Meridian West LDS Stake Center 1985 N.
