Adonis Paul Quintana Sr., 55, passed away, leaving behind a legacy of strength, generosity, and unwavering faith. Born on February 6, 1970, in El Paso Texas, to Vincent Quintana and Matilde Urrutia-Quintana, Adonis lived a life defined by resilience, integrity, and a deep appreciation for the people and world around him.
Raised with strong family values, Adonis carried a spirit of determination and independence that shaped everything he did. He was known for his infectious smile, his sharp sense of humor, and the way he could light up a room just by walking into it. He had a rare gift for making others feel seen, heard, and valued no matter who they were or what they were going through.
Adonis had a work ethic that spoke to his strength of character. Whatever challenges came his way, he faced them with courage and optimism, guided by his belief that “God will show you the way never doubt Him.” He lived by those words, drawing on his faith to overcome hardship and to encourage others to do the same.
Beyond his daily life, Adonis found joy in simple moments: sharing laughter with friends and family, watching his beloved Dallas Cowboys, or spending quiet evenings reflecting on life. He was the kind of man who took pride in the little things: lending a helping hand, offering advice, or simply being present for the people he cared about.
To those who knew him best, Adonis will be remembered as loyal, compassionate, and deeply genuine. His kindness left a mark on everyone he encountered, and his ability to find humor even in difficult times brought comfort to many. His strength, faith, and warmth will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to have known him.
Adonis is survived by his mother, Matilde; his brother, Vincent; his sister, Margot; and his children, Jasmine, Adonis Jr., Laylarae, and Constance. He was preceded in death by his father, Vincent Quintana.
A service celebrating his life will be held at Sierra View Funeral Home on Sunday, November 2nd, 2025, at 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM. Friends and family are invited to gather and share memories of a man whose heart and spirit will never be forgotten.
