Quintin Dailey Obituary

One of the best players to come out of Baltimore MD

My deepest Sympathies

Sorry to hear that Quinton passed I knew him and his brothers growing up in south Baltimore. We would shoot hoops with him and brother Tony at southern high school ball lot. RIP

Quintin, I remember play ball with you at Gibbons. You got the rebound and passed it to me while I made the fast break, all awhile you were yelling trimperkowski! I never asked you why you called me that name, it was just cool that you did. Now 40 years later, I still see your smile and your laughter. Oh by the way, youre still an underclass man. Thanks for the memories brother. CG class of 78.

We had a lot of fun when we were kids at the Police Boys Club.

Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.

As a former "Don", I was proud to have a part in recruiting Quintin to USF. You will always be a part of the "Hilltop". Rest in peace.

Still missing you.

I first met Q back in 2008. He was always the perfect gentleman. I miss those long talks over the phone. I hate you are gone...I hate we didn't get a chance to speak before you left this world, but I take comfort in knowing you are in a better place. RIP my friend.

amongst the greatest group of prep seniors EVER to grad at one time, you stood atop the mound in the upper tier with the ISIAHs, Sampsons, Kelloggs, Wilkins,and etc. in 1979 and NCAA tenure

Q,REMEMBE GOING TO THE GAMES AT USF BACK IN THE DAY IT WAS A PLEASURE TO SEE YOU PLAY AND BOY COULD YOU.MAY YOU REST IN PEACE BROTHA WE WILL MISS YOU ON THE HILLTOP. GO DONS YOU WER A TRUE WINNER!

I am 13 and if we turn out to be related i would like to meet one of my relatives.

Q I met you when I was 14 ... I worked at walnut rec center as a teen leader.. I had been asking about you for years .. I moved to California when I was 16 and came back at 19.. No one knew where you were I really wanted to tell you thank you for all of your help and kind words I am now 30 and doing good.. Thank you Q <3 Tiffany Stewart

Paul and I first met Q back in 2002. Q is a great mentor he loved kids. We started running Basketball leagues for many years. I still cant believe he's gone. Such a loss at a young age. Never forget his smile and laughter. he will be greatly missed.God bless Quincy and Tony through their loss.

You will always be in my heart!May we meet agan on the other side someday!

It took all my energy when I read that he passed away. It makes you stop and really think about your life and how short it is. When I met him I was dealing at the klondike then which I went to work for clark county parks and rec thanks to him. He was a dear friend who cared alot about children and worked every moment of his life trying to make a difference. I will always remember you and will greatly miss you. You were a wonderful man.

As a former team mate at Gibbons, I saw Quintin develop through high school years. We develpoed a friendship beyond basketball and I could see beyond his athletic skills. I choose to remember the good things, as God's grace washes away the sins of each of us who believe!
Thanks for the memories during the many road trips to Philly, VA, Cumberland., MD and other sites. Basketball was family at Gibbons. I have now lost a coach and two team mates in Quintin and Dwayne Purnell.
Prayerfully, as we trust Christ's sacrifice, we will all get together once again in heaven.
God bless the family and kids!

I met Quintin at a basketball camp he held in my small little town. He was just a great guy to be around!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I just learned of Quintin Dailey's passing. As a kid growing up in East Baltimore I looked up to him. He and Tony Guy of Loyola were the top two players in the city at that time. This news is gut-wrenching.

Dr. Judson L. Jeffries

in think he was good man and remembered as such

My heart goes out to the Dailey family. The loss of someone in the prime of his life can be overwhelming. Although gone "Quintin" will never be forgotten, his legacy lives on. May you find comfort and strength from family, friends and a host of fans that share in your grief. Most important may you look to the God of comfort and peace that will sustain you during this time.

"Q" - One of the greatest athletes to put on the uniform at USF. I still remember your smile when we measured your vertical leap. You are a Hall of Famer and Im glad to say we remained friends after all of these years. I know you are smiling in heaven at all of us now. God Bless you and may your children always know how special you were to so many people. Jeff Kane, Basketball Manager, USF 1979-1982

My prayers gose out to the family.

Our prayers are with you and your family during this time. Sometimes in life it is not in how long we live but how well we have lived. He has done more than most who have lived longer.

Q as i called him was an offensive machine and was a great teammate. my thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
Basketball was just a small part of his life and i was proud to see he made the transistion and spent his final years working with kids.

It was such a shock to hear of Q's death. I met Q at USF in 1979 and will always remember the great times we had there. He will remain in my heart forever. May God bring strength to the family in this difficult time. Q was well loved and returned that love by touching the lives of so many people. You will be missed dearly. Rest in peace Q.

My deepest condolence to the family in the loss of your loved one. May the God of all comfort, comfort each of you.

Sorry for your loss. Rev, 21: 6,4 speaks of death no more, think of all the good memories they will surely make you smile and bring peace

"Inside ones Life
Theres Joy with love
Happiness in ones
Death is of sadness"

To lose a loved one is like losing a piece of yourself…But the love Quintin brought you did not leave…the essence of him lingers…It can’t escape your heart for it’s been there so long. Cling to the memories and let them find their way to heal your heart. The love and the laughter, the joy and the togetherness you shared will make you strong. You’ll come to realize that your time together, no matter how long or short that you were blessed to have such a precious gift in your life.

Although at this time you may feel a deep sorrow that is not easily dispelled, the God of comfort will help you through this time of sadness. He says: “Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not gaze about, for I am your God. I will fortify you. I will really help you. I will really keep fast hold of you with my right hand of righteousness.” - Isaiah 41:10.

Let the loving and fond memories of Quintin engulf your hearts and minds and keep you moving forward.

I remember our childhood memories as if it were yesterday. Many great times at Cardinal Gibbons. Sincere condolences to the Dailey family. Rest in peace my friend.

I was shock and sadden to hear the news about Quintin this week. I met Q in 1979 at USF and his room was two down from mine. We share plenty good times together and became friends doing so. We also share an apartment together for one year. Unfortunately we got out of touch with one another and I have been trying to track him down when I found out he was in the Las Vegas area. Wish we could have spoke and visit before this happen. R.I.P. my brother, I'll never forget the times we spent together and friendship we shared. May your family and love ones be with God in this difficult time.

REST IN PEACE ,YOU TOUCHED ALOT OF PEOPLES HEART YOUNG AN OLD ... NEVER FORGET YOU ......IRA WATTENBERG AN FAMILY

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Quinton was truly a gifted ball player & tremendous person. He always had a clamness about him but had a burning flame on the court. I'll miss him just because he was a good friend and decent man.

We were so fortunate to have had the chance to enjoy a family reunion a few years ago. We will miss your smiling face, and your devilish sense of humor.
May God watch over you.

Your Aunt and Uncle,

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

I AM SO VERY SORRY FOR THE DEATH IN YOUR FAMILY YOUR FAMILY ARE IN M,Y PRAYERS AT THIS TIME OF NEED

I am sorry for your loss. The loss of those we love is so very difficult to bear. May the memories of Quintin and this reminder of a wonderful hope sustain you at this most difficult timel "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more neither will mourning nor outcry, nor pain be any more, the former t hings have passed away."

First of all, I will miss "Q" 's smile and laugh that he gave when things looked rough. In my opinion, he approached most of his obstacles in an aggressive manner with a smile. I enjoyed all the conversations we had about his NBA & sports career, our family, and how he contributed to his community. "Q" will always be in my book of life with a smile. My condolences goes out to his immediate family. Kwame

My praise goes out to the family. So sorry to hear about your loss. He was truly a great sport figure.

Dear Family and Friends of Q........rest your weary hearts. The Journey has just begin for him. his footprints have been removed from the sands of the living and replaced in the land of Glory. This is the place he shall shine,for you and I know, you shall know the Man by the fruit of his Harvest not by the judgment of claim. Q you planted a lot of seeds that grew great Harvest for myself kids and many people here in Las Vegas. my Family will truly miss you, Thanks for everything.

To the Family and Friends of Mr. Quintin Dailey.
I send my condolences to you all. May you have the strength to endure such pain and know that you can go to our Heavenly Father and "Throw your burden on him and He will sustain you." Psalm 34:18 , because He is healing the brokenhearted one and is binding up their painful spots." Psalm 147:3

Words cannot express the sadness I feel knowing that Quintin is no longer here with us. It is comforting to see that he has touched the lives of so many people and was loved by practically everyone who knew him. He has always been my hero.You will forever remain in my thoughts and in my heart. May you rest in peace.

Your little cousin,
Tee-Tee

We miss and love you.
Heada Davis and Family...

When Quintin stepped on the basketball court at St. Mary's Star of The Sea in the early 70's, I knew he was special. He played on my CYO Teams back then. Our competition cringed when they played us knowing they had to go up against Quintin. He was the spark that Gibbons needed to make that school a powerhouse in basketball for several years. Future Gibbons stars played there because Quintin lead the way. He is without a doubt the best basketball player ever to come out of St. Mary's, South Baltimore and Cardinal Gibbons High School. Keep hitting your patented jumper up there. Your vertical leap took you right to heaven. No one did it better than you....RIP my former player and friend.

Q, You were a dear friend and you will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with your family in this difficult time.

To the Dailey family,

We are sorry for the loss of your loved one. May the comforting words from family and friends continue to strengthen you, and the fond memories of your loved one continue to provide comfort to you.

May you find comfort also in God's promises found in the last book of the Holy Scriptures. "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."
2 Peter 3:13; 1 Cor. 15:24-26

Never met him or played with him but I knew him from his cousin in East Baltimore I played at Morgan and he was with the Bulls and he gave his cousin these Nike Airs (Orange Stripe)he gave me a pair and no one else had them I want to thank him for being so nice and I from what I hear about him he was a geat man.
Larry B(Baltimore)

Babe, I hope you are at peace now. I will always remember you with the big grin on your face and will love you forever.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Quinci and Quintin. Your Dad was an amazing person since a very young age. He was truly beautiful, gifted and giving in so many ways. He was a very close part of my family when he moved to St. Mary's School where his basketball career began. My brother and him were always together playing ball. My sister drove him everywhere for practices and games. She passed away in 2006 at age 50 so I am sure has greeted him with open arms in heaven. We loved your Dad, the legend, the great guard from Baltimore Quintin. Sr. He was wonderful and always touched so many lives. I can only imagine how great he was at his job with the youth.
Now remember he is living in you. You will always have his memories and are a part of him.
With sincere sympathy,

To the family and friends of Quintin: embrace his presence while he was with us and the legacy that remains with his passing. Most people watch the parade of life as it passes them by while people like Quintin choose to jump in, participate with a flourish, make a difference on this earth. Peace to all.

I hope You will see my sister up there....Tom Dinan

I played against Quintin some summers in Ocean City, MD pick up games. he was a good guy and I am sorry to hear of his passing.

I remember Quintin from Cardinal Gibbons High School. The thing I remember about him other than his obvious all star B ball talent was his hand eye coordination. We had 2 pool tables in high school. If he got to break you might not get to ever make a shot. He would sink all of the balls before you even got a chance. I've never seen anyone play pool like Quintin.
We had a carnival every year at school. Even with the over inflated basketballs and tiny rims the carnival guys would use, Quintin would still sink all of the shots and win the big prize. I think they banned him from that event because he was cleaning them out. The owner of the carnival was a classmate who loved Quintin too. Quintin was a great guy!
I'll miss you my friend.
Sincerely,
Buddy Breen Class of 79'

Very sorry to read of Quentin Dailey's passing. His passing deeply saddens me.
Hopefully future generations will find cures for the ailments that takes so many of our men at such young ages.

Quint was the first real friend I had in school...He was the best...I will always remember him....Love you hun! My heart is really missing you...although we have not spoken for a while, I still miss your smile ...God be with you and your family. you will be greatly missed here in BALTIMORE! My first HERO!

I had the pleasure to know Quintin as a young man when he played football for South Baltimore and as a student at Catholic Community School. Then we both attended Cardinal Gibbons, where he left his mark on this city. He was a great person and a friend to many. My prayers go out to his family and friends. The world has lost a terrific man.

I was truly touched by the passing of Quinten. It brought back a lot of memories of High School days back at Gibbons.Quinton was truly blessed with skill of basketball, but more highly favored as a person. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Dailey Family.
My condolences.
Don C. Marshall

I knew Dailey since early 2007, he always had kind a word and will be missed.

Q was one of the great clutch big time hoopsters to ever grace the basketball courts in San Francisco. Had the pleasure of meeting him and playing against him at the C.C.S.F runs. Admired deeply. Condolences to family and friends.

My sincerest condolences to the family. May the God of all comfort you in your time of grief.

Many knew Q as a great basketball player, but I knew him as a great mentor and role model as a club kid.

My memories of Quintin...a young guy who had fun, like any other 5 star athlete, who accepted an invite to play ball with us filipino-americans in a pick-up game, dee-jayed with a mutual friend of ours at a a girlfriends party in Union City and helped make my 20th birthday a memorable one. Bless you and your family Q...thank you.
