Quentin Lee Rodemeyer, 75, passed away peacefully at home in Los Angeles, California, on December 19, 2025, after living courageously with Parkinson's disease. Born on April 6, 1950, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Quentin led a life defined by creativity, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to healing and artistic expression.
Quentin's early career was rooted in the music industry, where his passion and vision left a lasting mark. He served as tour manager for Waylon and Willie's first two tours.
Worked with Micheal Murphy and collaborated with Adam Yauk of the Beastie Boys. One of his most memorable contributions was bringing Tibetan monks on stage with the iconic rap group—a moment that reflected his deep appreciation for cultural fusion and spiritual resonance. His talent for recognizing and cultivating artistry extended internationally when he brought in talent for StarsNBars in Monaco.
Later in life, Quentin shifted his focus toward healing. He became a certified rolfer and practiced homeopathy, dedicating many years to helping others find physical and emotional balance. His approach to healing was deeply personal and intuitive—guided by the principle he lived by: "Do no harm." This ethos shaped every aspect of his life.
Quentin's creative spirit never waned. He continued to explore new avenues through work in the film industry, where he found joy in the nuances of lighting, storytelling, and what he called the creative "flow." His love of good writing and visual composition reflected a mind always engaged with beauty and meaning.
Though Quentin did not adhere to any single religion, he embraced all paths that honored peace and integrity. As he often said, he was "in it but not of it," standing firmly in his own field of understanding. His spiritual philosophy was simple yet profound.
He is lovingly remembered by his sister Kae Miller and her husband Ed Miller; nieces Cathi Janson, Bobbie Jo Bacerra (Roger), and Kelli Falkner (Mark); nephews and Eric Miller and Shaun Rodemeyer(Tess); and by many others whose lives were touched by his presence. At the time of his passing, Quentin was surrounded by love at home with his fiancée Michelle Albert.
Quentin Lee Rodemeyer was a man who walked through life with grace, humor, depth, and purpose. To know him was to be seen fully—and loved without condition. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him and continue to inspire kindness in the world he leaves behind.
