ARIEL GLINTER
Ariel Glinter, beloved son, brother, nephew, cousin, uncle, and friend, died in Winnipeg on June 11, 2024. He was 36 years old.
Ariel was born in Winnipeg, MB, where he attended the Talmud Torah I. L. Peretz Folk School, the Gray Academy of Jewish Education, and the University of Winnipeg Collegiate. He graduated from the University of Winnipeg with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology and from the Faculty of Law at the University of Manitoba with a Juris Doctor degree. In law school he received numerous awards for academic excellence, including Dean's Honour List in 2010 - 2011 and 2011 - 2012.
After practicing law for three years at Aikins, MacAulay & Thorvaldson LLP, Ariel joined Maqabim Distributors as director of business development and regulatory compliance. In his role at Maqabim he earned the respect and admiration of his colleagues throughout the industry for his knowledge, passion, acumen, and good humour.
Ariel was a generous, kind, passionate, and insightful person who had a profound impact on those who knew him. He is survived by his parents, Nancy and Harry; his siblings, Ruthie (Daniel), Ezra, Hannah (Koby), and Leah; and by many uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, and cousins. He will be mourned and missed by his family and by the many friends and colleagues whose lives he touched.

I had an opportunity to collaborate with Ari on some curriculum a few years ago and he was so knowledgeable and kind. Rest in peace. - Posted by: Sandra Sukhan (Acquaintance) on: Jun 26, 2024

Ariel is the smartest guy I know. He always had the answer to everything and was always there for me when I needed help. Very few people on Earth understand me. But "Ari" understood me completely. We went camping together and to industry events together and would also hang out often at Daniels house, where his laughter would fill the air and warm our hearts. When the world was dark and unkind, and there seemed to be no hope, Ari would help to part the darkness and show me the way to the light. His presence in our professional industry was larger than life, he touched everyone that he met and everyone knew that they were lucky to have been introduced to such a boss. He helped who he could and was always direct with everyone, honest and sincere. I feel an immense sense of loss at Ariel's passing, as though a part of my own life is lost forever. Who will I take camping to St Ambrose? Who will I make nachos for now? Who will I have pointless university arguments about nothing with? Love you Ari.❤️ - Posted by: Joel Carleton (Friend and business colleague ) on: Jun 22, 2024

I remember Ariel from living on Forest Park St. I would go skateboarding at Forest Park School and would talk to him there briefly. I though that he was smart and had a lot of potential. R.I.P. - Posted by: Gavin (neighbour) on: Jun 22, 2024
