Quinton Walden was a remarkable young man who touched the lives of everyone around him. After receiving a heart transplant at just 18 years old, Quinton spent the next ten years bravely facing countless hospital visits and health challenges. Despite these hardships, he always maintained a positive attitude and a deep love for life. Quinton found joy in fishing, playing video games, and spending time outdoors, especially with his beloved dog, Ozzy. His resilience and spirit inspired his family and friends every day.
Quinton’s mother, Sharon Black Walden, was his greatest advocate. She stood by his side through every trial, never giving up on her son even when others suggested she should. Her unwavering support gave Quinton ten more years with his family than anyone expected. Quinton’s father, Rex Walden, and the rest of his family were always there for him, cherishing every moment they had together. Quinton’s passing has left a deep void in their lives, but his memory and strength continue to inspire those who knew him.
The Walden family is now facing the difficult task of covering Quinton’s funeral, cremation, and burial costs. All funds raised will go directly toward these expenses, and payments can also be made directly to Forest Lawn Funeral Home in Hendersonville, NC. Any support, whether through donations or sharing this fundraiser, will help ease the financial burden on Sharon, Rex, and their family as they honor Quinton’s life and legacy.
