Anthony Eugene Quinney
May 9, 1955 — March 24, 2020
Anthony “Andy” Eugene Quinney, 64, died Tuesday, March 24, 2020 at his home.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Heber M. Quinney, Jr., and Ernestine Green Quinney; and his brothers Heber M. “Mart” Quinney, III, and Gary B. Quinney.
Andy was born May 9, 1955 in Savannah and graduated from Groves High School in 1974. He was proud to be an insurance agent serving Chatham County and the lowcountry of South Carolina for over four decades, most recently working with Jimmy Swain of James M. Swain & Associates. He was mayor of Garden City, Ga., from 2002 to 2009, seeking to “put the garden back in Garden City.” He also served as Worshipful Master in the Masonic Lodge, and at the time of his passing he was a member of the Port Wentworth Lion’s Club.
Andy loved music, whether it was jamming on his horn with local musicians or playing almost any brass instrument as part of praise bands in churches throughout the Savannah area. Anyone who lived in a two block radius of his home on Lynn Drive will remember his trumpet serenades of the Tomahawk Chop during Braves games in the ‘90s, and he loved calling people to play exuberant renditions of “Happy Birthday” over the phone. He loved reading, especially biographies, and learning about history from multiple perspectives. Andy had a green thumb and could bring any plant back to life. He loved life and lived it to the fullest. His ready smile was infectious.
He is survived by two daughters, Jamie Thomas (Andrew) of Chicago, Il., and Abby Traywick (Bryan) of Savannah, Ga.; sister, Delores Smith (Ron), of Richmond, Va.; brother, Michael Quinney (Gay) of Port Wentworth, Ga.; two grandsons, Noah Traywick and Adam Thomas, and countless nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
In compliance with the Covid-19 guidelines, the burial will be private. A celebration of his life will take place at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice.
