William Quinn of Warrington, PA passed away peacefully on January 19, 2024, surrounded by his loving family after a courageous battle with cancer. He was 48 years old.
Will grew up in Buckingham, PA and graduated from Central Bucks East High School. He received his degree in Culinary Arts from the esteemed Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY. Will traveled the world to study and perfect his craft, becoming an accomplished Executive Chef. After working in New York City for many years, he spent the bulk of his career in Philadelphia with the Starr Restaurants. He was proud to be the Executive Chef at Parc on Rittenhouse Square for over 10 years. Most recently, wanting more time with his family, he was employed as Executive Chef at Doylestown Country Club. When he wasn’t in his kitchen, Will could be found in his happy place outside tending to his garden. Will was a highly accomplished chef who brought joy and love to many through his food.
The most important thing in Will’s life was his family. He had been with his high school sweetheart, Amber, since they were 15 years old. Together, they built a beautiful family. Will was incredibly proud of his two daughters, Sophia (19) and Lyla (16). When he wasn’t supporting their activities, Will could always be found pulling pranks and making them laugh. He loved his girls more than anything in the world.
Will truly appreciated the relationships in his life. He was a devoted husband, a proud father, a loving son, an incredible brother, a fun uncle, and a best friend to many. His energy and laughter lit up every room. He was kind, hardworking, selfless, and funny as hell, with an unwavering love for his family and closest friends. When Will told jokes, he had an uncanny ability to always take them a little too far, in the best way possible! Everyone who knew Will loved him.
We will be laughing until we cry, telling stories about Will for the rest of our lives! When you think of Will, a smile will always come to your face. He was larger than life and will live in our hearts forever.
He was the beloved husband of Amber Lee (Smith) Quinn; devoted father of Sophia and Lyla Quinn. Cherished son of Jack Quinn and Karen (Kelly) Quinn; dear brother of John Quinn and his wife Valerie, and Chrissy Quinn. Loved son-in-law of Tom and Lorraine Smith; loving brother-in-law of Lorraine Robbins and her husband Jack, Tom Smith and his wife Christine.
