Philip Anthony Quinet, 80, died at his home in Carmel, Indiana on December 18, 2024. He was preceded in death by his parents Margaret (nee Erskine) and Octave Quinet. Philip was born in Vincennes, Indiana April 22, 1944. He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Kenna Quinet, and three sons, Bart Quinet of Nashville, TN, Matthew (Stephanie) Quinet of Nashville, TN, Andrew Quinet of Toronto, Canada and bonus daughter Dae Smiley of North Salem, Indiana. Philip is also survived by his brother Mike Quinett of Vincennes, Indiana and his sister Patricia Quinet of O’Fallon, Missouri. He leaves behind beloved and wonderful nieces, nephews and friends.

Philip was a man of many passions and pursuits, and he lived life with incredible zeal. His turn of phrase, brilliant sense of humor, and the courage to accomplish anything he set his mind to will forever be remembered by all who knew him. He sure was a hammer swinger. 

As per Philip’s wishes, there will be no services. Cremation rites were accorded and his ashes will be scattered at a later date. In lieu of flowers you can donate to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org or the Elephant Sanctuary www.elephants.com or the wildlife rescue charity of your choice.
