The Ewing Family including the Critters will miss you. I know heaven needed you to help with the horses you loved so much. You will be missed. You were considered part of our family. Our animals, who you knew were our babies, loved and trusted you as did Gary and myself. We'll miss you Dr. Quintana. May you rest in peace. May God give peace to Dr. Moreland and everyone who had the privilege to know, work with, and love you!! Thank you for loving our babies!!!

I am saddened by the loss of Dr. Joe - the most wonderful vet, great man, unselfish healer. I am grateful for the care of my horses over the years. What a terrible loss to the equine community. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

Dr Q through the years you were indeed so special to our family in Shiprock especially during the annual cattle herd vacs and evaluations and the periodic cow/calf emergencies. Your guidance to our father Willard Frazier was invaluable even after his passing. We know he shared our Navajo ways with you in understanding the animal being. We will surely miss you.

There have been many times I thanked God for this truly exceptional doctor and friend.
Joe was never to busy to offer his expertise. He seemed to always have the solution.
I have many fond memories of him sitting at my kitchen table to drink coffee and share a meal or fresh sweets I tried to always have for him after a call for the horses or cows.
As everyone knows there will never be another come close to Dr. Joe Quintana.
God broke the mold when he made Joe.
Susan, you are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this time of loss. You were blessed to love such a man and have his love in return.
You will be together again.
Thank you for sharing him with us.

Dr. Q gave my girls their first horse and has cared for several other animals of ours. My girls will never forget the day Dr. Q pulled into our driveway on Xmas Eve. He was with my sister Michelle. The kids had an idea of what was happening but it was so special when they took Toby out of the trailer and he had a huge bow around his neck. Thanks Dr. Q

Dr. Quintana was the epitome of "horseman." When he was treating my mare for colic, he told me, "I do this because I have a passion for these animals. I truly love horses and all that they represent." He wasn't exaggerating. I've never seen anyone, vet or otherwise, that wanted EVERY horse to live happy, healthy lives like he did. Farmington has lost an awesome vet and person and Heaven has surely gained an angel. So very sorry for Dr. M, and family's, loss.

Dr. Moreland and all the wonderful staff (extended family) at Animal Haven, I'm so sorry to hear of the tragic loss of Dr Q. He was a special person to so many, and the community will feel his loss deeply. I will be in prayer for you all as you go through this difficult time. Blessings from Stephanie, Oso and Widdle Parks.

My favorite memory of Dr. Quintana is his laugh, how he hollered slapped his knees when I backed into the "scrub sink" and drowned my behind. Dr. M your life will change so drastically,our thoughts and prayers are with you, God Bless you. We love you. Mike and Carrie Alexander

Dr. Quintana, so many years and so many animals you healed for me. There will never be enough thanks to you and your staff at Animal Haven. Having left this world, you've left a huge void for all animals and those of us who love them. Prayers of support for Dr. Moreland, your family and your staff. You will be dearly missed kind Sir.

So sorry. You can take care of the animals in heaven. Joe, you were the first vet to put an artificial leg on my grandpa's mule. Later aided her in the birth of her baby. You will be missed, God bless!

Joe, when we were freshmen roomates at CSU and were both struggling, you were my rock and I knew you would come back and finish your goal. You did and then you made it worthwhile for all our horse families. Karachi
