Such a great man. Sending love and prayers.
Our lives have been blessed because we knew this wonderful man. Heaven is lucky to have him home. How blessed we are to know that Quinn will continue to live and will one day be reunited with all of his loved ones. We believe Quinn will be a guardian angel to his offspring and their families throughout their lives. Sending love and prayers.
My heart is sadden at Quinn’s passing but I rejoice in knowing he is whole again. Even though our paths did not cross often when they did Quinn always left an unforgettable impression. I extend my best wishes to Margo and family. Life is eternal and families are forever.
I moved into the Mesa 45th Ward when I was 16 years old and married and left the nest at 20 years old, so I only lived in this great ward for approximately four years. Those four years; however, made an impact on me, and Quinn Johnson was a standout in my mind. Every time I saw him he had a big smile on his face, and he was ALWAYS so warm and friendly. Even as a youth, I was well aware of his presence and how he made people feel… what a man! I remember babysitting for the Johnson family… how I loved the whole family! Margo is right up there with her husband. Thank you Quinn (and Margo) for truly making this world a better place… you will be missed dearly by so many, I’m sure. Sending my love and with a prayer in my heart for each of the surviving Johnsons. 😉
