John Joseph Quigley, 59, of Bartlesville, Oklahoma passed away
Sunday, May 10th, 2020 in Tulsa, Oklahoma due to complications from
Covid-19.
John didn't allow his circumstances to limit his exit from this world.
He brought us to our feet in a final Race for his Life to St. John in
Tulsa. In Fact, Most of John's Life was lived that same way. He was
always up for an adventure, ready to have fun. His mother fashioned the
phrase, "He was the party going somewhere to happen". This truth
followed him throughout his life and is more than likely why John had so
many lasting friendships, deep family bonds and countless acquaintances.
John never met a stranger. He lived his life for the here and now. His
love ran deep like there was no tomorrow. He cared for others as if they
were his own and shared his Faith as if he knew time was running out.
John was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on November, 3rd 1960. He
graduated from Boyd Anderson High School and soon after met the love of
his life, Linda Kay Swanson. They were married on March 20, 1981 and
enjoyed a vibrant 39 years together. They were blessed with two
children, a Son Joshua John Quigley and a Daughter Jenna Marie Riggs.
John worked as a Manager in Retail for over 30 years. Of a weekend while
raising a Family, John could be found coaching Little League or serving
in his Church. John had been a member for over 39 years at First
Wesleyan Church in Bartlesville where He was heavily involved in youth
Sunday school and Young Married Classes. His Passions in Life were God,
his Family and NASCAR. He especially took pride in his six
grandchildren.
