Quinton Paul Perry, 17, of Brookville, passed away tragically as a result of a car accident on Saturday, December 16, 2023.
Born June 4, 2006, in Indiana, he was the son of David Rollin (Tricia) Perry Jr. and Jennifer Marie (Andrew) Mauk.
He was an attending senior at Brookville Area High School.
Quinton had received acceptance to Universal Technical Institute in Exton, to pursue his passion for auto mechanics and all things machinery.
He was working for Pizza Hut while he finished high school.
Quinton had a strong belief in God and was very proud of his faith, he was a member of the Indiana Seventh-day Adventist Church and member of the Brookville First Church of God.
Quinton approached life with an undeniable positivity, extending kindness and love to all who crossed his path.
He had an energetic spirit and was able to turn any situation into an enjoyable and often fun experience.
Quinton excelled in life and relationships in part due to his unwillingness to let others bring him down; he was never angry and faced every problem with a smile and "can-do" attitude.
He didn't do anything halfway and was an extremely active student who was a member of the track and field team, as well as the robotics club and was a previous member of the marching band.
He was unbelievably smart, with an affinity for computers and all thing "tech."
Quinton touched the hearts of the many people he invited into his life; even those he didn't get a chance to call "friend" knew of his kind heart and positive way of living.
He will be dearly missed by many friends, classmates, coworkers, neighbors and family members.
