Louis Ray Quinn was born on August 10, 1937, to Isabel and Eugene Quinn at home in Candler, North Carolina. He was a cherished individual known for his kind, loving, caring, humorous personality and love for meeting new people. He passed surrounded by his loving family October 2, 2024, in Fairfield, Texas. Louis loved his family and the mountains in North Carolina. He would brag about the view he had from his front porch anytime he had a chance.
He is survived by his sister of Candler, North Carolina Bonnie Ledford and her children and many nephews and a niece. He also leaves behind his children, daughter Cinnamon Archibald and her husband Justin Gonzales, daughter Patty Spiller, and her husband Ron Wayne, son Johnny Bermudez and his wife Melissa, daughter Carrie Pyles and her husband Rick, Daughter Theresa Farris and her husband Donnie, daughter Mitzi Carrington and her husband Jim and daughter Krista Quinn. He was very proud of his many grandchildren and great grandchildren and was known to them as Pizza Paw. His departure leaves an unfillable void in their lives, yet they find comfort in the memories and everlasting love they shared.
Louis Ray Quinn joined the Navy in May 1957. He came to Texas to Work in the telephone field as a contractor. He decided to make Fairfield his family’s home in 1976. That’s when he took a full-time job with Contel. He would often point out all the places he put telephone wires up and all the houses he went inside. If you knew Louis, you know he never met a stranger and loved talking to everyone and this job gave him the opportunity to meet a lot of people. He then retired in 1997 to spoil and spend more time with his grandchildren.
Louis, a beacon of kindness and love, will forever reside in our hearts. His legacy, exemplified by his hard-working demeanor and passion and love for his family will continue to inspire and guide us. As we cope with the loss of his physical presence, we find peace in knowing that his spirit lives on through his children.
