An entrepreneur who acquired banks in Colorado, Kansas and Wyoming that became ANB Bank and served as chairman died at the age of 92.

Donald Sturm died Aug. 17, ANB Bank announced.

Sturm was born Jan. 10, 1932 in Brooklyn. Following service in the Army, he moved to Denver and received a law degree from the University of Denver.

He worked as a trial lawyer for the U.S. Internal Revenue Service before joining Peter Kiewit Sons, a construction and engineering firm based in Nebraska. He worked for the firm 28 years and rose to the position of vice chairman. He was involved in acquisitions and expansions and the development of energy operations across Wyoming.

In 1991, Sturm returned to Denver and became an entrepreneur, real estate developer and serial investor.

He acquired banks in Colorado, Wyoming and Kansas — including a bank in Grand Junction — that became ANB Bank. He served as chairman of the bank.

Sturm was involved in the creation of the Fillmore Plaza in Denver and The Meadows in Castle Rock, a community of nearly 20,000 people.

He was inducted into the Colorado Business Hall of Fame in 2022.

As a philanthropist, Sturm was involved in shaping institutions across Denver and Colorado, including the University of Denver, DU Sturm College of Law, Denver Museum of Nature and Science and Jewish Community Center. His gift to the Sturm Collaboration Campus at Arapahoe Community College was the largest in the history of the community college system in the state.

He is survived by his wife, four children and an extended family.
