He was witty and quick with his humor and could brighten a room instantly. Those of us who knew and loved him remember many times laughing until we cried. Quinn was an extremely bright and talented young man. Because of his talents and personality he was looked up to and loved by many. He was a natural leader and people were drawn to him and felt comfortable in his presence. He could captivate the heart of anyone young or old. Quinn was a handsome young man and liked to look his best. His tender heart and unforgettable smile endeared him to everyone he met. We will miss him terribly.
