September 23, 1993 – March 14, 2026
Quinn Nicholas Strickler, 31, passed away on March 14, 2026, in Santa Barbara, California, due to an unforeseen heart issue. He was born in Ridgway, Colorado, to Brent Strickler and Jennifer Nutt, and grew up as the oldest of three siblings. Quinn worked as a physical therapy assistant, known for his patience and the genuine care he brought to everyone around him. He loved his wife, Lauren, deeply, and their life together was one of his greatest joys. He was known for wearing Sambas before they were cool and building Legos one page at a time with his loved ones. He loved soccer, all sports, and his pug, Joey, and he had a rare gift for making every person he met feel special and loved.
He is survived by his wife, Lauren; his parents, Brent and Jennifer; and his sisters, Julia and Phoebe.
A memorial service will be held Saturday, July 25, at 11:00 AM at the Solar Ranch Gazebo, with a reception to follow at the Artisan Collective gallery.
