Gordon Quinney

QUINNEY - After a long struggle with Parkinson’s Disease, Gordon Quinney passed away peacefully at home at the age of 74 on May 10. He bore his sickness without complaint and welcomed death with tremendous courage. He will be lovingly missed by his family.

He was predeceased by his son Matthew and brothers Wayne and Richard. He is survived by his wife, Lorna, the kids; Jay, Maegan, Brent, and grandchildren Sadie, Lincoln and Arianna. He is also survived by his siblings Michelle (Merv), Gail (Roy), Rodney (Colleen), Valerie (Rick) and Gary (Diane), and In-laws Barbara, Mike, Bob, Neil, Cathy, Dwight and Michelle as well as many nieces and nephews.

Gordon enjoyed a short career full of adventure with the Town of Kindersley Saskatchewan, graduated SAIT in Business Administration, and had a long, successful career with the Canadian government but he enjoyed life outside of work more. He coached Matthew and his mates in various sports, played golf with enthusiasm and encouraged Matthew the same way. Gordon travelled throughout the world and relished new adventures. He was an accomplished woodworker, enjoyed learning how things work and loved a good game of cards, especially rummy and crib.

Gordon has looked forward to spending his time together with Matthew.

We are grateful to all the extraordinary efforts for his care by the staff of Allen Gray Continuing Care Centre and the caring people at MAID.
