Quinncy grew up in Central Oregon and graduated from Crook County High School in 2017. He entered into the military June 17, 2017 in Fort Benning, Georgia as a 198th Infantry Brigade. He later lived in Arlington, Virginia serving at Fort Myer as a member of The Old Guard Alpha Company 4th Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment, before settling in Fayetteville, North Carolina, where he spent more than two years serving as a 11B infantry man in Fort Bragg.
A proud and dedicated soldier, Quinncy served in the United States Army as a Staff Sergeant in 11B Infantryman. Throughout his service, he earned numerous awards, including the Army Commendation Medal, Joint Service Achievement Medal, two Army Achievement Medals, two Army Good Conduct Medals, the National Defense Service Medal, the Army Service Ribbon, the Expert Infantry Badge, the Combat and Special Skill Badge and Basic Marksmanship Qualification Badge. His leadership, discipline, and commitment to his fellow soldiers left a lasting impact on all who served with him.
Outside of his military career, Quinncy was admired for his love of the outdoors. He enjoyed hiking, fishing, and exploring nature whenever he could.
