From an early age, Quintin showed a deep connection to his faith, accepting Jesus Christ into his heart early in life at the Swope Parkway Church of Christ. He found great joy in riding the church bus with his friends, an experience that left a lasting impression on him.

Quintin was a proud member of the Class of 1985 at Southwest High School, where he made his mark not only as a dedicated student but also as a talented athlete. His commitment to his team was evident in his contributions to the football program, where he was celebrated for his skills and determination.

A hard worker from the start, Quintin displayed an exceptional work ethic even as a teenager. At just 13 years old, he began earning money by helping out his neighbors with yard work, a sign of his drive and determination to contribute.

He earned the respect and admiration of his colleagues, who appreciated his dedication and reliability.

Quintin shared a special bond with his father over their love of cars, particularly his cherished Cadillac, fondly called "The Mothership." He had a passion for staying up to date with the latest technology, loved bowling with his children, and could always be counted on to cheer passionately for his Kansas City Chiefs. Quintin also loved his mother, Rose so much. Those closest to him affectionately teased him for being a "Mama’s Boy," a title he wore proudly with a smile, always quick to say, "You got that right."
