Dale Earl Quinn Obituary (1938 - 2021)

Dale Earl Quinn April 5, 1938-May 22, 2021 Dale was born in Grand Junction, Colorado to Earl and Esther Quinn and was the oldest of four children. Dale had three younger sisters--Carol Ornellas (Bob), Mary Wixom, and Joyce Donnelly. Dale was raised primarily in Long Beach, California where he resided until he retired. Dale worked at McDonnell Douglas as a Heavy Equipment Operator and retired in his late 50s. He then moved to northern Utah and resided at Fairfield Village in Layton at the time of his death. Dale was an avid sports fan and particularly enjoyed baseball. He rarely missed an opportunity to watch the Los Angeles Dodgers. He settled for watching games on television later in life but enjoyed many games at the ballpark in his younger days. Dale was a bible believing Christian who enjoyed a strong faith and prayer life which sustained him through his health battles with cancer. Dale never married but was exceptional at keeping track of what was going on in the lives of his immediate and extended family. Many nieces and nephews were blessed to have been remembered in his prayers. Dale's final resting place will be at Green Hills Memorial Park in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. He desired for his ashes to be near where his parents are buried. A Memorial Service in celebration of Dale's life to be held in California will be determined by the family at a later time. The family would like to thank the Independent and Assisted Living staff at Fairfield Village in Layton, Utah and Encompass Homecare and Hospice for their professional and compassionate care. As Dale would say to us repeatedly in his last days, "God loves us more than we will ever know". He will be greatly missed.
