Deacon Adell Quinn, age 64, passed on May 15, 2019.

The funeral service will be held at 11:30 A.M., Saturday, May 25, 2019 at Zion Grove Baptist Church, 91 Whitehouse Road, Montezuma, Georgia. Interment will follow in the Champ Waters Cemetery, 191 Twin Church Road, Montezuma, Georgia.

Deacon Adell Quinn was given his wings of flight May 15, 2019 and soared on his final journey to join the company of saints who preceded him and to exist permanently in the presence of the Lord. Deacon Quinn was born February 24, 1955 to the parentage of the late Johnnie Lee Quinn and Nettie Sutton Quinn in Montezuma, Georgia. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his high school sweetheart and wife, Susie Lee Walker Quinn and his siblings, Jimmy Lee Quinn, Eloise Quinn Miller, and Irvin Quinn.

Deacon Quinn is survived by his five children Clarissa Quinn-Turner (Calvin) of Hagerstown, Maryland, Ricardo Quinn of Dacula, Georgia, Cymone Brown of Warner Robins, Kiara Lester of Puyallup, Washington, and Alana Lester of Montezuma, Georgia;  five siblings Billy Quinn (Edith), Gloria Quinn-Ager, Karen Quinn Oliver (Ralph), all residing in Montezuma Georgia; Linda Hill, Virginia Beach, Virginia, and Mildred Ellison of Valdosta, Georgia; four grandchildren, Eric Quinn, Alexander Green, Reece Allicock, and Ke’Asia Tookes; two great grandchildren, Eris Quinn, Erianna Quinn, and a host of nieces, nephews, and friends.

Deacon Quinn had a quintessential smile and his presence seemed to add light to any room. He valued his friends and held them very closely, especially Victor Lewis, Bruce Fobbs, Willie Woolfork, Michael Williams, JW Quinn, and Tony Thompson. He also cherished the moments with his brother and sisters who affectionately called him, “Dell” and his grandchildren who called him “Paw-Pop.”  His children gave him several titles, Dad, Daddy, and Deacon Brother. Most importantly, he was a Great Father. He was well-known throughout the community, owning Quinn Service Station and later working for the City of Montezuma. In addition, he was a ‘grill master.’ His barbecue ribs would simply fall off the bone. Everyone loved them and frequently had him grill for them. For the Quinn Family, it was every Wednesday. 

At an early age, he joined Zion Grove Baptist Church and was later ordained as a Deacon in 2015. As a faithful member who loved raising hymns, praying, and attending Sunday School with second mom, ‘Sista’ Bertha Fobbs, he became the Assistant Chairman of the Deacon Board. He took pride in the chairmanship and loved his Deacon Brothers. Deacon Quinn was a devoted father, brother, and friend. Most importantly, he, in his own words, “Got it right with Lord.”

On May 15, 2019, God called him and Deacon Quinn answered, “I am ready.” Now, he is in the arms of the Lord but has left footprints in the hearts of those who loved him.

My condolences go out to the family on the loss of a very special person to all of you. Death as we know in this world is a part of life that we find hard to accept. As you prepare to lay your loved one to rest, may you can find comfort from your Bibles. Please know that GOD is a stronghold in the time of your distress. Nahum 1:7.

Right now Death is our enemy but soon everlasting life will prevail. Jah has promised to swallow up death forever. Isaiah 25:8 and we can rest assured that this will be fulfilled. Much love and sympathy to the Quinn family. Lenoris and Glenda Rogers.

My condolences to you and your family. It is good to know that you can find comfort from God's . At Psalm 34:15 the eyes of Jehovah is on the righteous and his ears listen to their cry for help.

Elouise and family I am so lost for words. I knew Adell as a classmate, a cordial business gentlemen. I enjoyed Adell services at the gas station and his friendly wife. That was the Friday evening stop by. He would always make me laugh, Lorna you need to put more than two dollars worth of gas in this New Yorker. I would reply fill me up and charge it to me. We would laugh for minutes. Adell was very friendly, very generals, would help if you call upon him for help. Family Adell will truly be silence to the family as well as being missed. But our Father has welcomed him to a better place in Heaven. Clarissa, I know you were daddy’s little girl but God doesn’t make mistakes. You and the others just think of the good times you all cherished together. Keep smiling, serving for God, praying, you all will gain strength.

Ricardo,
You and your sweet family are in my thoughts and prayers. I never had an opportunity to meet your precious daddy, but I know he was a wonderful man who loved the Lord. He is sitting with our Heavenly Father and will be watching over you all in the days, months, and years ahead until you are reunited with him in our Heavenly home. I pray that you, your family, and friends of your sweet daddy will feel God's arms wrapped around each one of you as He loves y'all through this journey.

Dear Family,
Please accept my condolences regarding the loss of your cherished one.
I know the sorrow you feel right now is like a day without sun.
Pain from the death of a loved one causes an agonizing sting.
We can’t concentrate, we’re paralyzed, and we can’t focus on anything.
Seems like all is lost at the thought of never seeing them again.
But, TAKE HEART! God’s Word, the Bible says, this is not the end!
Acts 24:15 notes that there will be a resurrection.
YES! Again—we’ll see those whom we’ve loved and regarded with tender affection!
Revelation 21:4 tells us that death will be no more,
And that we won’t cry or mourn as we’ve done before.
So, my hope is that I’ve encouraged you through my words of condolence.
Please visit JW.org for further reference.
