Quinn Malcolm Saunders

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Quinn Saunders, who died peacefully at home in Boca Raton, FL on Saturday, March 14,  2026, at the age of 54 surrounded by his loving wife and daughters. Quinn was recently diagnosed with brain and liver cancer, which he faced with remarkable strength, courage, and grace.

Born March 1, 1972, Quinn graduated from Fairborn High School in 1990 and went on to earn a bachelor’s in science from Wright State University in 1995. He began his career with an environmental remediation company before owning and operating his own contracting business. Quinn later continued his education at Rutgers University, earning a Certification in Golf Turf in 2002. In 2003, he and his family moved to Boca Raton, Florida and he worked at The Country Club at Boca Raton, Boca Rio Golf Club and Stonebridge Golf and Country Club before transitioning back to construction in 2015. Quinn worked with Orange and Blue Construction and spent the last four years of his career with Mill Creek Residential as an Assistant Superintendent.

Quinn loved spending quality time with his wife and daughters on family vacations and road trips, exploring nature and discovering new adventures, as well as being immersed in a competitive environment whether cheering at his daughters’ sporting events, attending FAU sporting events, or playing golf with friends and family. No matter where he was or what he was doing Quinn consistently exemplified kindness, compassion, strength, and a deep sense of justness to everyone he encountered.

He made an enormous impact on the lives of so many who had the privilege of knowing him. Quinn had a unique gift of inspiring others, coaching, motivating and leading people to focus towards a greater purpose. His light, along with his warm and captivating smile, deeply touched us all.

A man of strong faith, Quinn was a gentle giant with a kind soul who led with a servant’s heart, always showing selflessness and warmth rooted in his trust in our Heavenly Father. His presence will be deeply missed by his family, countless friends, and colleagues.

Quinn is survived by his wife and high school sweetheart, Heather Saunders, to whom he was married for 30 amazing years along with his two incredible daughters Aeriel (Dave) Saunders and Maia Saunders whom he loved immensely and canine companion Ava girl. He is also survived by his mother, Paula Saunders and two big brothers: Todd (Donna) Saunders and Chet Saunders.

He is now reunited in Heaven with his beloved father, James (Jim) Saunders.
