My heart breaks for my niece and her husband. I’m am so blessed to have had Quaid in my life as his Aunt and watch him grow into a wonderful young man and father. My memories of him as a little blonde haired blue eyed little boy are etched in my heart. Our family will never be the same. I love you Quaid RIP
I was Quaid’s English teacher during his senior year at Northern High School. He was one of my favorite students and a real treasure to humanity. His kind, gentle, intelligent outlook on life was contagious. I joked with him and we laughed together when he substituted at Northern. I will truly miss him. He is one of those characters in life that attaches to your memory and always remains. I hope, now, he will be able to converse with Socrates, Ghandi, Kierkegaard, Plato, Freud or anyone that will answer questions that he had in life. He will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time, I pray god brings peace and understanding to jace as he navigates through these new changes. Heaven has truly gained an amazing soul though earth will miss him greatly.
I will always remember Quaid as considerate, kind, polite, brilliant and talented. I can’t believe I’m writing this condolence. I keep hoping I’ll wake up and discover I had a horrible dream. Life will never be the same for our family. God bless you Quaid. Much love…Aunt Linda
While I knew Quaid he really showed me how there was some positive in the world. He definitely brought peace wherever he went. I’m going to miss you man it had already been too long now it’s gonna be longer till we see each other again.
Quaid, you were loved by many people and you will be missed. You were taken from us far too soon but you will always remain with us in spirit. We will always remember you for the amazing person you were.
Love, Cousin Jennifer
As a friend of our son, Sam, Quaid was many times a welcome guest in our home. He was a kind, gentle, quirky, intelligent and interesting young man, a warm and bright spirit, a good and beloved friend. Sam spoke often about Quaid’s love for his son, Jace, and what a devoted father he was. Our hearts are broken by this terrible loss, and we grieve for Jace and Bre and Quaid’s many friends and family.
We are heartbroken to hear of the passing of Quaid. Quaid and our son Nick were close friends during school and we always enjoyed when Quaid came around. He was so kind and had a great sense of humor and a joy to be around. He went on a few family trips with us and we have many fond memories. Sending deepest condolences to his family and especially his young son Jace. We are truly sorry for your loss. Quaid will be missed.
1“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4And you know the way to where I am going.” 5Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
Quaid, our family is broken and will forever be missing an important piece. We will always remember Wanda and Randy’s “big guy” on our many camping trips. We will miss you always but will see you again one day. Lots of love, Nancy and Bobby

You were his favorite teacher and spoke of you often. I have an awesome picture of you two.
