Jeffrey John Quinlan April 20, 1963 – July 24, 2025 Jeffrey John Quinlan, 62, of Grosse Pointe Shores, passed away suddenly on July 24, 2025. Born to John Roger Quinlan and Janet Suzanne (Karl) Quinlan, Jeff was a devoted son, husband, father, grandfather, and brother whose presence brought warmth, laughter, and a steady strength to all who knew him. Jeff was the adoring and doting husband of Patricia Di Musto Quinlan, with whom he shared 35 beautiful years of marriage. Together they built a happy, adventurous life centered around deep love, mutual respect, and an unwavering bond. Jeff was a wholeheartedly, devoted husband and father. He approached life lightheartedly with kindness and gratitude, and a spirit of how to live fully and love generously. He is lovingly remembered by his children: Alexa Quinlan Guest and her husband John Michael Guest, Julian Quinlan, and Adrian Quinlan. He took immense joy in being a grandfather to Grace, Gordon, and Graham Guest, cherishing every moment spent with them. Jeff was deeply loved by his children and grandchildren and will be incredibly missed by them all. Jeff was full of life. He loved to boat, travel, and be active. Whether on the water or planning his next adventure, he embraced each day with excitement and appreciation. He not only treasured time with his adored family, but was blessed with his many friends he considered family as well. He is survived by his loving siblings: Kerrie Quinlan, Michele and Nicholas Becharas, Joseph and LeAnn Quinlan, and John and Sally Quinlan, as well as a host of nieces and nephews who meant the world to him. He especially adored his precious Goddaughters Maria, Isabella, Elle, and Karly. Jeff’s unexpected passing leaves an ache in the hearts of all who knew him, but his legacy lives on in the love he gave, the lives he touched, and the joyful spirit he brought to each day.
