A message from Quentin's family and friends: "Our son was a rare gift to earth, his empathy and genuine kindness made him a superior being. We are most grateful for the time God gave us with him, to learn from him, because he taught us more about love, compassion and generosity than we could ever teach him. Quentin carried the burdens of the world and it was more than any child could be expected to carry. In return, we ask the world to pray that Quentin finds peace with God, and that he let God worry about the rest."
