Quinn was foremost a family man. He strived to be the best husband and father he could be. He was his family’s best friend. Though Quinn was a jack of all trades and excelled at everything he did: from welding ranching, farming, rigging, fishing, hunting, cunducting a train and multiple other things. He would most want to be remembered as a family man who loved unconditionally, and that he became and will always be the best father to his children and the most beloved husband to his wife. “His master replied, ‘ Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!” Matthew 25:21
