Death notice for Desmond Marquinn Edwards, who was affectionately known as “Quinn,” passed away suddenly on February 19, 2025, at the age of 52. A devoted father, beloved son, loyal brother, and cherished friend, Marquinn’s life was filled with love, laughter, and dedication to family and community.
Born to the late Bahamian cultural icon Kayla Lockhart Edwards and former senator and ambassador Desmond F.L. Edwards, Marquinn was deeply influenced by the arts and pursued education in broadcasting and video editing. He was an entrepreneur at heart, owning MasterCare Landscaping and establishing “Marquinn’s Place,” a remote-control racetrack. His passion for culture and storytelling was evident in his involvement in Bahamian productions and his ongoing work on a stage play.
Marquinn is survived by his father, Desmond; children, Marqueya and Demjai; sister, Keysha; stepsiblings, Joshua, VJ, and Chizarra; nieces and nephew, Chakeyra, Kiana, and Caleb; aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends.
A celebration of life will be held on Friday, March 14, at 11 a.m. at Bahamas Harvest Church, John F. Kennedy Drive.
Rest in peace, dear Marquinn. You will be deeply missed and forever cherished.
