Major Quenten S. Looney , US Army, Retired
Looney, Quenten S, age 90 passed away on December 1, 2009.

During his nine decades of life, Quenten S. Looney was a model citizen. He served as a defender of his country, a loyal friend to his associates, a successful farmer and contributor to his community.
At the age of eighteen, he enlisted in the US Army. As one of the early paratroopers, he served in the European Theater of Operations helping to defeat fascism in that part of the world. Later, he served in Korea to stop the expansion of communism in Asia. Distinguished military service gained Mr. Looney a commission as an officer and after combat, a series of assignments with increasing responsibilities.

Quenten had a strong interest in community affairs and was instrumental in establishing one of the volunteer fire companies in Marshall County, TN.
Active citizenship was a high priority in the life of this extraordinary American. He was a long time member of the American Legion, a stalwart in the Republican Party in Marshall County serving two terms as its chairman and was a member of the Marshall County Election Commission for ten years. Additionally, he was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Lewisburg.
As a husband, father, grandfather, soldier, civil servant, farmer, neighbor and citizen, Quenten S. Looney always placed service above personal gain and established an example for others to emulate.
