His perfect day began with a big breakfast, followed by a long motorcycle ride, and ended with relaxing at home with his beloved cats, Gerald, Penelope, and Alyson. He had a love for classic rock and country music, and his favorite color was blue. Quintin had a contagious laugh and was known for his bold spirit, he found joy in pushing the limits and living life authentically.

Quintin dedicated himself to helping others, both in his personal life and his career. He shared his love of athletics and mentorship through coaching wrestling at South Moore High School, Capitol Hill Middle School, and as head coach at Capitol Hill High School. Most recently, he served as an assistant coach at Tecumseh High School, where he inspired and encouraged many young athletes.

Those who knew Quintin will remember him as someone who always gave his best and put others before himself. His courage, kindness, and authenticity left a lasting impact on everyone he met.

He is survived by his parents, Stephen and Tamra Beck of Norman; his brother, Spencer Beck of Norman; his sisters, Bridgett Beck of Norman and Chloe Beck and her spouse Riley Reece of Oklahoma City; and his three cats who brought him great joy.
