Phillip Freed Quinn

It is with profound sorrow and a sense of deep loss that we announce the passing of Phillip Quinn on February 4, 2025. Born on August 8, 1930, in Perryville, AR, Phillip's life was a rich tapestry woven with threads of wit, humility, and intelligence.

Phillip was a man of diverse talents. He was a retired maintenance worker at Perryville High School, a retired volunteer firefighter for Perry County, retired vetern of the Air Force and an accomplished electrician, channeling his smart and practical nature into his work. His service in the Air Force testified to his bravery and dedication to his country. Yet, these professional achievements only formed a part of the mosaic that was Phillip. He passed his incredible work ethic on to his children and grandchildren. He was also a humble man who never met a stranger, always had a witty word to share, and was perpetually ready to lend a helping hand. To quote Maya Angelou, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Phillip made everyone around him feel cherished and valued, and his selfless spirit will forever be etched in our hearts.

Phillip was a family man through and through. He is survived by his children, Rusty Quinn (Jo) and Rebecca Quinn; his sister, Charletta Howington; his grandchildren, Becca Langford (Clayton), Chris Felkins, Dustin Caudell (Mickey), and Jessi Parham (Brad). He was preceded in death by his parents, Willie and Nancy Quinn, his wife Minnie, of 56 years ,his brothers, Troy and William Quinn, and his sister, Juanita Margiotta. We extend a special thank you to Perryville Nursing Home and Gentiva Hospice for the care and compassion they showed throughout his journey.

As we bid farewell to Phillip, we invite you to celebrate his life by sharing your treasured memories and photographs on his memorial page. Let us remember him not for his departure, but for the remarkable life he led and the love he shared, which will continue to inspire and guide us.
Family will set service for a later date.
