“Just as superstars and legends are seldom replaced, Theodis’ transition will forever leave a void on the Quarles team,” DeQuanda Smith wrote on the fundraising page.
“Alyssa, Anaya, Asia, Allie and Aryah will miss him at breakfast, at their class plays, proms, recitals, graduations, college entries…and ultimately their weddings.”
Speaking to Yahoo News earlier this month, Vickie Quarles, Theodis’s wife, described him as “an outstanding man” who would “give his shirt off his back for you.”
“I feel like a piece of my soul left with him,” Vickie said of her husband’s death.
