So sorry to learn of the untimely death of Quinton. We are all so sad. Tiffany and Owen we are thinking and praying for you. Our memories of Quinton revolve around your family trips to Texas. We were always excited when the family could get together and we loved that little dimpled boy. He was always so sweet and special. As he got older he would play the piano for us. We each have a special memory of him. Mama and Papa loved him so much and now, along with Brenda, will welcome him into heaven. Praying for healing for you all.

This is just unimaginably sad. So young and so much potential. I held him when he was a baby. I’m so sorry for your loss and can’t imagine what you’re going through. As a fellow trucker and relative this really hits me hard. I drive that stretch all the time. You just never know. My deepest sympathies and condolences
Quinton was such a kind, funny, smart and genuine young man. My heart breaks for his family. This is such a tragedy.
I have so many wonderful memories of him that I treasure.
Praying for his family.
My condolences and deepest sympathy for the loss with this young man! May God give the family peace and comfort during this time of sadness!
This is so devastating and so hard for us to process or accept. Before my other younger cousins were born, Quinton (my cousin), Christopher (my brother), and myself were a trio. Quinton treated me like one of the boys and was always willing to share his toys, games, and Halloween candy with me and others without a moment’s hesitation. We loved watching cartoons and movies together and spending time with our Grandpa, “Walkie”. Our grandpa was immensely proud of him. Quinton was always a fantastic and loving older brother to my other little cousin, Owen. He will be missed, not just now, but for many years to come.
