Quintin Charles

Quintin “Nino” Colby Charles, 34, was called home on Tuesday morning, May 27, 2025, in Lake Charles, La. He was a beloved son, devoted father, cherished brother, an amazing uncle, and a truly
unforgettable friend.

Quintin was a lifelong resident of Lake Charles and graduated from Lagrange High School in 2010. To know Q was to love him deeply, and behind his tough exterior was a gentle soul with an uncanny sense of
humor and quick wit who brought endless laughter to those who knew and loved him. Quintin was especially devoted to his children and cherished every moment he spent with them. He will be remembered
for his warm heart, fierce loyalty and his unwavering love for his family and friends. His presence lit up the room, and although humble, he always remained unapologetically true to himself. His absence leaves
an immeasurable void in the hearts of those who loved him.
