Obituary of Thomas M. Quinnan

QUINNAN - Thomas Michael "Beasley" Quinnan, 56, born, September 6, 1957 passed away July 20, 2014, beloved son of William A. Quinnan and the recently deceased Donna J. Quinnan, cherished father of Thomas Michael Cholcher-Quinnan and loving brother to Martin (Mary McLoughlin) Quinnan, Loretta (Ed) Wilson, Brian (Sue Kern) Quinnan, Mike (Sandy Churchfield) Quinnan, Jim Quinnan, Martha (Tom) Farrington, David Quinnan and Billy Quinnan and uncle to many nieces and nephews. Tom was the fourth child of Bill and Donna Quinnan's nine children. He was predeceased by his cherished mother and his dearly loved father-in-law, Karl Cholcher. Tom graduated from St. Mary's Cathedral High School in 1976 and worked as a structural iron worker for union locals #549 and #550 in Saginaw. Tom was a skilled carpenter and enjoyed the outdoors - particularly hunting and fishing. He, like his mother, took great joy in his four-legged friends, specifically, Josie, Jiggs and Max. In his last few months he and his dad, Bill, relished their talks of how well their beloved Detroit Tigers were doing this season. His parting words to all of us might be: "Don't take life for granted; it goes too fast."
