Chris McQuinn Obituary

Chris McQuinn
February 22, 1960 - June 29, 2025
Chris McQuinn passed away peacefully while under long term care at Colonial Vista on June 29, 2025. Chris was born at Larson Air Force Base in Moses Lake, WA, on February 22, 1960, while his father was stationed at Larson. The family moved to Wenatchee in September 1960. Christ attended schools in Wenatchee, graduating from Wenatchee High School in 1979. After graduating, he and his brother, Mike, moved to Seattle, WA, and worked for Probail Industries which was a small machine shop doing contract work for Boeing. In 2011, Christ had a major illness resulting in severe disabilities. In 2015, Chris and his brother, Mike, moved back to Wenatchee where Chris entered Colonial Vista under long term care. He was preceded in death by his mother, Angela Joyce Frostad McQuinn; and grandparents: Carmet and Joyce Frostad. He is survived by his brother, Mike; sister, Laura; and nieces: Emily, Amanda, and Meliah. I want to thank the staff and the aides at Colonial Vista for the loving care Chris received while there. Arrangements by Chapel of the Valley. Interment will be later at the Wenatchee City Cemetery at a later date.
