Beloved son, brother, grandson and uncle, Quinn Clifton Petersen, 24, passed away April 23rd, 2011. He was born March 25th, 1987 in Murray and raised on the family farm in Riverton, Utah. He is the son of the late Craig A. Petersen (Riverton) and Nancy Petersen Rees, and Gaylen K. Rees (Grover), Utah. From his birth Quinn was a unique and fun-loving boy. He enjoyed life to its fullest. Anyone that knew Quinn was a fast friend. His personality was bright and exciting. He was witty and quick with his humor and could brighten a room instantly. Those of us who knew and loved him remember many times laughing until we cried. Quinn was an extremely bright and talented young man. Because of his talents and personality he was looked up to and loved by many. He was a natural leader and people were drawn to him and felt comfortable in his presence. He could captivate the heart of anyone young or old. Quinn was a handsome young man and liked to look his best. His tender heart and unforgettable smile endeared him to everyone he met. We will miss him terribly. Quinn loved his family, sweetheart Kaitlin White, the farm, the outdoors, hunting, fishing, motorsports, exercising, eating healthy and working with his hands. He enjoyed working in the construction business with his Rees brothers and sister and cousin Brett. Quinn was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and had a strong testimony of the Savior. He believed in eternal families and looked forward to seeing his dad again. We believe he is enjoying a joyful reunion with those who have gone before him and is continuing his eternal journey.
