Obituary of Patrick J. Quinn Sr.

Patrick J. Quinn, Sr., age 67, went home to be with the Lord suddenly in a motor vehicle accident on May 31, 2024. Pat loved the beach, going fishing and crabbing, breaking it down on the dance floor, playing shuffleboard, and being with his family. His grandchildren were the joy of his life. Pat loved the Lord and read his Bible faithfully every morning at the kitchen table. He was a goofball and had a corny joke for every occasion. Everyone who knew him felt loved. Pat was born on December 18, 1956 to William and Mary (nee O'Connell) Quinn. He graduated Highland Regional High School in 1976, then went on to be a casino dealer at Tropicana Casino in Atlantic City. Throughout his years, he also worked at Cypress Metals; owned his own bread distributing company, Bella Bread; and retired after working as a painter-laborer at Cornell Crane & Steel in Westville, NJ. Pat is survived by his wife, Beverly Perna-Quinn; his former wife, Susan Quinn (nee Gallagher); children, Lisa Doolin, Jennifer Miles (Richard), and Mary Hopp (Jimmy); grandchildren, Michael Doolin Jr., Nicholas Miles, and Melanie Hopp; siblings, Peggy, Jack, Bill (Margie), Maureen (Ray), and Mike (Kathi); many nieces and nephews; and his beloved dog, Tootsie. He is predeceased by his son, Patrick Quinn Jr.; and brothers, Tom and Kevin. A visitation is scheduled from 9:30–10:30 am on Wednesday, June 12, 2024, at Victory Bible Church (816 S. Egg Harbor Rd., Hammonton, NJ). A memorial service will follow at 10:30 am, followed by a luncheon. Burial will take place at 2:30 pm at St. Joseph's Cemetery, 240 Lower Landing Road, Blackwood, NJ 08012. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to America's Keswick—a ministry close to the family's heart—at Americaskeswick.org/support.
