He was born on November 8, 1990 to parents Michael and Kathy Quinn in Atlanta, GA and grew up in nearby Peachtree Corners. He was a 2013 graduate of Oglethorpe University with a Bachelors of Arts degree in economics, and was most proud of his time as a member of the 2012 NCAA Division III National Championship-winning Oglethorpe men’s golf team. On Saturday, July 10, 2021 he married the love of his life, Barbara, a kindergarten teacher, and they were building their life together near family in Marietta, GA.
Eric was happiest spending time with those he loved, especially Barbara and their dog, Otis. He was an avid golfer, passionate coach, amazing musician, and best friend to so many. He had the unique ability to make everyone he met feel loved and was always ready to listen and laugh with a heart-to-heart. He was the most incredible husband, son, brother, uncle, coach, and friend, and will be missed by all who knew him.
Eric is survived by his wife, Barbara, parents Michael and Kathy Quinn, sisters Rebecca [Josh] Lasley and Kelley [Blake] Coram, niece Jessica Lasley and nephews James Lasley, and Ernest and Leonard Coram.
