Larry Reynolds Quinn born January 30,1942 to Mary Katherine and Reynolds F. Quinn and passed away peacefully surrounded by his family, knowing that God was with him and was going to take care of everything; he told us so.
He grew up in Versailles Mo. He later met Arwanda Faye Miller and fell deeply in love, a love he took extremely to heart. Not a single day went by that she was not his #1 priority in sickness and health. Added to this unbreakable union were two sons; Jay A. Quinn and Larry P. Quinn, whom preceded him in death this past December in a very tragic house fire that also claimed their entire lifetime.
Larry and Arwanda eventually made the Collins area their permanent home. He was a perfect definition of a good man, true to his word, and when he loved he did with all his heart. Although it was very tough for him to express his affection simply because he had to learn how, without doubt we all knew he adored and loved each one of us. His grandchildren were definitely the apples in his eyes. He wanted to teach them everything about everything.
He was a simple man that enjoyed working on and fixing things around the home sometimes even when they weren’t broken. He enjoyed fishing. And I would almost have to say working. He never met a stranger. And oh the stories he could tell. We find comfort in knowing that he is no longer in pain and resting peacefully in the arms of the Lord but there will forever be a deeply felt void until the day we join him.
He is survived by his wife Arwanda, his son Jay and wife Lisa of Collins MO his Aunt Lavetta of Dallas; 9 grandchildren; Jason, Brittany, Ricky and wife Danielle of Florida, Amanda Marquis and husband Kyle, Kayleigh Quinn and Jade, Noah Quinn all of Collins MO, Jessica Quinn, Devin Quinn of K.C. MO and the late Nicholas Quinn. And 21 great grandchildren.
