Quintin was baptized and confirmed at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church. He attended Centennial Twp. #6 before serving his country in the US Navy. He married Lucille Hartmann on March 15, 1947 in Sioux Falls, SD. The couple lived in various communities in Iowa, South Dakota and Minnesota before buying a farm north of Canton, SD in 1968. Quintin farmed until retiring and moving to Canton in 2004. The couple moved to Washington Crossing in Sioux Falls, SD in 2015.
Quintin was passionate about farming and participated in the American Ag Movement Tractorcade to Washington, DC. He enjoyed playing blackjack, traveling in his motorhome, and spending time with his family. He was a member of the Canton American Legion and VFW, was a past commander of the Canton VFW, and served on the Honor Guard. He will also be remembered for his great sense of humor.

Danny and I extend our love, prayers and condolences to Uncle Quentins family!!! I have many fond memories of time spent with the Sorenson cousins as a child. I will cherish the memories and will be lifting all of you in prayers for comfort and understanding! Danny and I wish we could come out. He had back surgery 10-28-20, so it will be awhile before we can travel. Truly Uncle Quentin’s legacy lives on in the lives of his family!!! “Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.” Matthew 5:4. May God comfort all of you! With ❤️ love, Carolyne (Jans) and Danny Brooks
