President McKay's love, support, and words of wisdom have had a profound influence upon my life for over 40 years. It was interesting to learn that he was encouraged to go to Harvard by university professor. He encouraged me to further my education after completing my under graduate degree, something I was not remotely considering. Turned out to be one the best decisions I ever made.
His profound influence upon my life and words of wisdom as my Mission President are evident in my marriage, parenting, career, and beyond.
Loved learning of his decision to pursue a doctorate degree and PhD. President McKay is reason I have doctorate degree, that I never thought was possible.
We are so blessed to be part of the McKay/Frame family. Quinn was truly an amazing man—someone I have always admired and looked up to. He had a special gift for making every person feel important, as if they were the only one in the room, no matter how many people were around.
He will be deeply missed by family, friends, and everyone whose life he touched. I am grateful for the many special memories I have of Quinn and the many times our families shared together. His kindness, warmth, and genuine love for others are qualities I will always strive to emulate.
The service was beautiful, and I loved hearing the stories and memories shared by each of you. They were a wonderful reminder of the incredible life Quinn lived and the lasting impact he had on so many people.
Thank you for sharing him with all of us. His legacy of love, kindness, and compassion will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. Much love s you navigate through these tough times.

Quinn was loved dearly by all of us that played tennis with him. He always had a smile on his face and he was a great inspiration to us all. His serves were right on, and so were his returns. We were all saddened when he stopped playing and we missed him as much as he missed us.
We appreciate and will long remember our respected friend and colleague, Quinn McKay! For many years, Quinn presented and facilitated the "Ethics, Integrity and Public Service" session - a highlight in our `Transcend Series´ leadership-development program for elected and community leaders. Quinn´s example and willingness to share insights and encouragement continue to guide us and the hundreds of civic leaders he has so beneficially influenced.

Condolances to Quinn's children and grandchildren

Our Stirland Family loved Quinn. His brother Barrie was my parents son-in-law. Quinn was so good to my parents--letting them stay in his house when we had our Stirland Reunion on my sister Elaine and Barrie's 'land' before they had built their own beautiful home there. We loved to talk to Quinn. He and all his siblings were so solid in the gospel as taught in the Church of Jesus Chist of Latter-day Saints, but Quinn liked to make people think. So sometimes he would play the devil's advocate and take the opporsite side of an issue so those he was talking to had to make sure their thinking was crystal clear on the issue they were discussing. His wife Shirley was a beautiful woman--inside and out. When Quinn appeared argumentative to some, Shirley always made everyone feel good. He was fortunate to have found a woman like Shirley to marry. While it may sound trite, it is good to know that they are once again together. We as a Stirland and a Matthews family offer our condolances to Quinn's children and grandchildren.
