Axe, so gutted to not be able to make it down to help send you off mate. Loved our catchup last year, was like time had never passed. Hope you're pesting away on the other side with your incredible wit and political rants. One of life's great character's, you've left an indelible mark on this world. RIP champ
Quinny, you really were an absolute firecracker and made life lighter and brighter. So many chuckles together at uni and Lakes Env; St George Dragons, dares at The Cook, ceiling cat, "the horse", Chopper Reid, Slash, and many, many phone pranks. Rest easy - thoughts are with your family and your Southland Boys crew.
Can’t believe this has happened 2 a dear old friend growing up in tussock creek…we had a lot of fun times…the l that sticks out in my mind was when u shouted me a beer because yr dad shouts 4 mine!!!..we were only 5 or 6 at the time…deepest sympathy 2 the McIntyre family..Craig shaw
I was guttered to hear of Quinn's passing. It was only a week back that Quinn was proudly showing me around his new company office. Sending my thoughts and love to his family as they navigate this difficult time. Rest Easy Quinn.
On behalf of the International Erosion Control Association, we wanted to send our deepest sympathy to the McIntyre family. It didn't take long to see Quinn's passion for the environment and industry which was extremely contagious. Always willing to support and grow. RIP Quinn
Condolences to the McIntyre family for your loss. The memories, laughter and tears that were expressed at the service were fitting for Quinn. RIP Quinn
Brent, Sheree and family. We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Quinn. Our thoughts are with you. Tim and Cathy Roxburgh
I'm feeling for you all today. Just a beautiful send off to a great man.
To Quinn's family, I didn't know Quinn well. He was a friend and former workmate of my partner. I used to bump into him - usually in the supermarket or at school events - and he was such an engaging guy. Always friendly, cheerful and time for a yarn. He exuded personality and warmth. I have thought of Quinn and his family so much during the past week. I am so sad and sorry for him, and you all. Rest in peace Quinn and love and strength to your loved ones. Jessica Maddock
Brent, Sheree and Family Heartfelt sympathies to you all. Can only imagine the heartache you are feeling. We have treasured memories of rowing and rugby days.. Thinking of you Leicester and Judith
Quinny, so many laughs and so many memories. So happy to see the wonderful family you built. Will never forget the day you had to spray my flat in Bondi for bed bugs! You were so scared to tell me how big the buggers were that were hiding in my mattress. Infact you were so worried about how I would feel that you made sure you removed them all before I got home. So caring and kind of you. Rest in peace mate. Xx
Brent and Sheree, We were very sorry to hear about the passing of Quinn. Our thoughts are with you and his family. Neil & Debbie.
Dearest Stace. Quinn was a goodie and you guys were a freat couple. I still have lots of moments pop into my head every now and then of our band pratices which normally ended side ways and we laughed and laughed, a lot, and had a heap of fun. The Melbourne St party always cracks me up. My heart aches for you and the kids during this time. What a loss for you guys to have to deal with and it isnt fair, at all. Stay strong Stace, I know you will. Lots of love Harry. Anonymous Player xxx

Hard to hear this sad news, Quinn was a great guy to work with and generally be around, we all have found memories of our fun loving colleague here at QLDC, our thoughts here at the QLDC Building department are with his family and friends.
A tragic day when Quinn was taken away, in the prime of his life. Leaving behind his very special family and many friends. Rest Quinn, everyone will make sure your loved ones are cared for.
So sorry to hear of the loss of Quinn a loved son, father, and husband. Our thoughts are with you Brent, Sheree and families. Hold strong. Peter and Karen
Quinn, fondly known to me as Brains, was a top bloke. He never acted with malice and always approaching life positively. His kindness was a fundamental part of who he was and generally displayed this through his bloody good sense of humour. His jokes, legendary, and his ability to find joy in the simplest of moments was a testament to his outlook on life. He had a unique talent for making others feel at ease, and for lifting the spirits of those around him. Brent and Sheree, you raised a son who embodying the values you instilled in him. I have no doubt that your pride in Quinn is reflected in the many stories that will continue to inspire. Stacey, Quinn's love for you was obvious. He spoke of you with pride that last time we shared a beer together, and his spirit will forever remain a part of your heart. Zac and Ivy, your father was a man who adored you. He delighted in your accomplishments. His legacy of kindness, humour, and empathy is a gift he has passed on to you both. In every smile, in every act of compassion, you carry forward a piece of his spirit. My thoughts are with you all. With deepest sympathy,
Stacey, Zac and Ivy - It goes without saying there’s no words for the scenario that you are in. A situation none of you should be in. Keep hold of the memories and the amazing times I know you all had together. He’ll be up there with Dad stocking up the beer fridge, I know that much at least. My heart is with you all, sending you all so much love. Steph Ross, Mum and Anna
On behalf of the rowing community, I would like to extend our condolences. I remember Quinn during his very successful time with Waihopai Rowing Club and in particular his success while competing for Southland Boy’s High School. He was a wonderful young man making his way in the world, a journey which has seen a number of achievements. While his loss is devasting, remember the time together and celebrate a life of love and the milestones that you shared. Regards JohnO’Connor President New Zealand Rowing
Please accept our deepest sympathy on the death of your grandson and son Such a tragic loss.
So sorry to hear of Quinns passing. We are thinking of you all at this extremely difficult time especially Zac.
I always thought Quinn a man that had life all figured out. His devotion to his family., successful business and brewing the best home brewed cider I have ever drunken. I first met Quinn through his wife, Stacey. I always thought them the sweetest couple who definitely tackled life challenges together. My favourite memory of them, is when they returned from an adventurous paddle in there sit on double kayak and laughing with Stacey when I heard how they got on. His beautiful kids are the legacy Quinn leaves behind: his shining family. I know we’ll all remember him even though he’s no longer with us. We still see Quinn in his son Zak and daughter Ivy. Love to his family and specially Stacey. Xx
Stacey, Zac and Ivy, we are heartbroken for you, and know that Quinn was a fantastic dad, husband and all round "good guy" We are sending you our love and will be here for you when you return home. We would also like to pass on our deepest condolences to Brent, Sheree, Owen and Maree. Such a tragedy and a reminder to us to live and love every day, as if it is our last. Much Love, Nysa and Robin
I'm both saddened and shocked to learn of Quinns sudden passing. He was extremely likeable, knowledgeable, and always knew just how to have fun....even at serious times. My heart felt condolences to his family and friends.
To Quinn and your family. I was shocked and saddened to hear of your passing. Us Lochiel School kids had so much fun from building our grass huts to getting into that freezing school pool. Fav memories definitely included school camp at Deep Cove. It was always good to chat to you on the side of sports fields while our kids played. I feel for your family, 😢 rest in peace Chantel Lindsay
We are incredibly sorrowed to hear of Quins passing, and we are in disbelief after seeing him only late last week. Our sincere condolences and if myself or our team can assist in anyway please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
My heart goes out to you Brent and Sheree and your extended family. I can't believe I had an extended yarn with him on Saturday afternoon after he had played in the Golden Oldies game at the Waikiwi Rugby 125th Reunion. We hadn't caught up with each other for a number of years and he walked straight up to me and said "Gidday Doug", the beard threw me off for a moment! He and Michael were an unbeatable item back in their Rowing Days. I can't imagine what you must me going through. My deepest sympathy to you all. Doug
We were so very sorry to hear about the passing of Quinn. He was such a fun & entertaining guy, especially at social functions, and when we run into him in Queenstown, when we were back in NZ. Thinking of you, Brent, Sheree and all of your family. Phil & Diane Payne Melbourne
Stacey, Zac and Ivy. We are devastated for your loss. Quinn was an amazing man. He spoke so much of his family and loved you guys dearly. A true legend, we will miss our yarns with Quinn and his guidance, shits and giggles and time he spent with Max. To Brent, Sheree and family, our thoughts are with you all. Sending love and strength. Clint, Emma, Jack and Max. Xx
