Qishon "Q" Avant Dunbar

Qishon Avant Dunbar, known affectionately as Q by his loved ones, passed away on May 26, 2024, at the age of 21. Born on May 3, 2003, in Ogden, Utah. Q was a beacon of light and energy to all who had the pleasure of knowing him. His life was cut tragically short in San Antonio, Texas, where he had been making his mark with his infectious enthusiasm and undeniable charisma.

Q is preceded in death by Great Grandparent’s, DeMar & Beverly Newhouse, Charles & Joan Waltmire, John & Verlena Dunbar.

Q was a proud graduate of Louis D. Brandeis High School in 2021, where he was not only a dedicated student but also a dynamic athlete. His passion for football was evident as he dedicated himself to the sport, playing on the varsity team. He was not only recognized for his athletic abilities but also for his team spirit and his ability to inspire his teammates.

Beyond the football field, Q harbored a deep love for music. He was a talent in his own right, writing and performing his own music. His lyrical prowess and musical skill were only matched by his passion for the art form. Q's creativity knew no bounds; he was also known for his appreciation of nature, his fascination with cars, and his artistic expression through the tattoos that he both gave and received. These interests were not just hobbies but a reflection of the complex and multifaceted person he was.

To say Q was loving is an understatement; he exuded warmth and care in every encounter. His adventurous spirit led him to seek out new experiences, always eager to explore the unknown. Q's courage was another cornerstone of his personality, guiding him through life's challenges and encouraging others to face their fears with the same fortitude.

Q's legacy is one of love, adventure, and courage. He leaves behind a community that admired him for these qualities and many more. His absence will be deeply felt, but his spirit will continue to inspire those who knew him to live life with the same passion and determination that he did.

Though his time on earth was brief, the impact Q had on the world around him was profound. He taught us to embrace life with open arms, to pursue our dreams with relentless energy, and to treat each day as a gift. Q's memory will be cherished and honored by all who were touched by his presence.

As we say goodbye to Qishon Avant Dunbar, we celebrate the life he led and the memories he created. His story, though shorter than we had hoped, was filled with chapters of joy, love, and triumph.
