Warren James ‘Jim’ Adamson, 82 of Florence Colorado passed away in Colorado Springs, CO on April 15, 2021.  He was born on March 8, 1939 in Creed, CO to Harry and Mildred (Webb) Adamson.

Jim was an outstanding athlete, helping earn the Florence Huskies the 1957 State Football Championship.  He was a proud veteran serving in the US Army.  He attended Mesa State College, Adams State College and Colorado State College prior to marrying Connie Bufmack on October 18, 1965.

Jim was an avid outdoorsman.  He shared his passion for hunting and fishing with his friends and family no matter their age.  Jim enjoyed spending time passing his knowledge along to the “younger generation” as he would say.  He will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure to know him.  Jim will be remembered fondly for his amazing sense of humor and his willingness to help anyone in need.
