With deepest sorrow, we announce that Ahmed Stipanovic, age 9, beloved son, brother, family member, friend, and noble warrior, lost his courageous battle, fought with quiet dignity to Rhabdomyosarcoma on August 2nd, 2019 at his home in Windsor, Colorado surrounded by his loving family. Born on December 17th, 2009 to Natalie and Robert Stipanovic in Louisville, Kentucky where he resided before moving with his parents to Windsor, Colorado in August of 2016.
