Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceMy sincere sympathy go out to the Reed and Bonner family. Quentin was a faithful member of the Bowen East District team that supported the Fishes and Loaves food giveaway ministry. He was also, a supporter of Chambers County A&M Alumni Chapter. He will be missed for all his community service.
My sincere condolences to your family. I remember Quentin from our days at Alabama A&M and around Lanett. He was a good friend and Fraternity Brother. I Pray God Blessing.
I send my condolences to the family. Quentin was not only a "FRIEND" he was my "BROTHER". He always had a smile on his face and a kind word to share. I last spoke with him on September 13, 2020, not thinking that would be the last time I would talk with him. He will be truly missed. RIH, Big Q.
My sincere condolences to the family. Although I have not spoken with my friend in some time I will always remember his laughter and smiles. Rest peacefully in the Father's arms dear Quentin.
You were my friend and ever constant tutor. I am well aware my hard headed thinking often made instructing me difficult, but you were dedicated to helping me maneuver the beginning stages of entering college courses. A quick witted funny fellow with patience of a saint and truly a good man. You will be missed my friend. Jr came in today with news of your passing with a heavy heart for your loss. He and I are both grateful to have known you. Rest in heaven friend and tell Mrs. Carter we think if her often. Much love
