Quincy Kai 'the cutie pie' Evans
On August 4th, we gather with full hearts to remember, celebrate, and honor our beloved son Quincy's 1st birthday. Though Quincy is no longer with us, we cherish the memories of the boundless love we would have showered upon him and the joy of spoiling him with all the gifts he so richly deserved.
​
Those who knew Quincy were touched by his incredible strength, curiosity, kindness, and loving spirit. He had a way of bringing light and love into the lives of everyone he met, even without words. We are certain that Quincy would want to give back to the amazing people who supported him and our family throughout his journey.
​
In his memory and to mark his special day, we will be donating gifts and supplies to the OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital to help other children and families in the hospital. This gesture is a token of our deep gratitude for the doctors, nurses, therapists, social workers, and staff who dedicated countless hours to caring for Quincy and supporting our family.
​
We invite you to join us in saying thank you. By clicking the link above, you can visit our registry and purchase a gift or supplies, which we will be delivering to OHSU in August. Each item in the registry has been chosen with Quincy in mind and the needs of other babies, their families, and their providers. Your kindness will help these children and families, just as so many helped us.
​
Thank you for keeping Quincy's spirit alive with your love and generosity.
