He married Betty Lou Hunt in the Manti Temple on September 19, 1952 and together they celebrated sixty-two years of wonderful marriage.

Quinn loved people. He loved working and being a farmer and never tired of taking care of the many jobs on the farm. Quinn was called to many positions of leadership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He enjoyed being in scouting since he was a young boy.

Quinn so loved his family, which includes his children: Peggy (Kim) Peterson, Debra (Wayne) Bezanson, Kathryn (Ralph) Brown, Terry (Penni) Christensen, and Amy (Justin) Peterson; 21 grandchildren and 33 great-grandchildren.

Quinn was preceded in death by his parents and two great-grandchildren.
