Jeffrey Martin Quinlan

I can´t believe it´s been 14 years that Jeff has been gone. Peggy Kraft and I still reminisce about him when we are together.

My heart is with your family as I just heard of this. I met Jeff in college. We skied together and I met him skiing as a friend of mine was on the ski team. He had a great, fun, charming personality. He played on his guitar of course Neil Young. But he sang it too which I loved. When he worked the summer of 1980, he wrote me a 2 page letter that I recently found in clearing out my family house. In it he talks about his family, how he misses his mom´s cooking, his friends, the pool, how the...

I was in Julie's class at Cheyenne Mountain High School and so didn't know Jeff well, but he recruited me to play piano on Boston's More Than A Feeling for the talent show his senior year, and I appreciated his love of music and his enthusiasm. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. He and the family are in my prayers.

Dear Norma Lee, Jan, Julie, and Mike. I will always remember the Thursday night Jeff came over to our house after the El Paso Club. We went out on the deck to visit and he completely opened up about his love for each member of your family. He told stories about each of you and we had a great time! Norma Lee, he thought of you as his rock. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Will miss you Jeff...a class act!!!

My thoughts are with Jeff's family- Norma Lee, Jan, Julie and Mike. It is hard to believe that Jeff is no longer with this world. He had the zest for life and was always so passionate and fun- loving.
Jeff is resting in peace- and I hope the friends and family will take comfort in that... My thought and prayers are with you all....

Dear Quinlan family, I am so sad to hear about Jeff. It has been a long time since our paths crossed, but I will always appreciate and feel fortunate that I had the chance to grow up with Jeff, and more importantly, to have experienced his kindness and friendship. My thoughts are with all of you.

Jeff, thanks for steering me towards a better brand of music. I was still digging The Archies and Strawberry Alarm Clock until you turned me on to Pete Townsend and Eric Clapton. I wonder if anyone ever found the spaceship we made in the attic over your garage? Rest in Peace.

Dear Quinlan family and friends.
Jeff is known as "the Q" to many of us who shared so many experiences with Jeff at the El-Paso club, his many social gatherings, his business events, and through the many friends he has made in his life. Being with Jeff was NEVER a dull moment. Always looking for the next adventure, 'a need for speed', an adrenalin junky like many of us. The plan was to live large, have fun, go fast, and make friends. We share many fond memories of full days at...
