Quinn Adam Eugene Lloyd, 16, passed away on November 4, 2025, in Springfield, Mo.

Quinn was born on July 30, 2009, in Joplin, Mo., to Brian and Lindsay (Johnson) Lloyd. Quinn was the oldest of a set of triplets. He never let anyone forget that he was the oldest. He shared a bond with his brother and sister that was unmatched and only they could understand. They were three parts of the same person. Quinn’s bond with his big sister, Sophie, was an important role in his life. They shared everything, the good, the bad, and the ugly. They were best friends and talked every day.

Quinn had a passion for helping others. He always wanted everyone to feel loved and to laugh. His smile could light up any room he walked into and his laugh was infectious.

Quinn made his first adult decision when he became an organ donor. It was very important to him to help others in any way that he could. Giving others a second chance at life is something that he didn’t even have to think twice about.

Quinn is survived by his mother, Lindsay Lloyd, of Columbus; his father, Brian Lloyd; sisters Sophie Lloyd and Chloe Lloyd; and a brother Asher Lloyd. Quinn is preceded in death by a sister, Ruby Lloyd.

The service for Quinn Lloyd was held at 10:30 a.m., on Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025, at the State Theater in Columbus, Kan. There will be a private inurnment at a later date.

A memorial Mass will be held at 10 a.m. on Nov. 22 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Mound City, Kan.
