"Push through the pain. Giving up hurts more."
Vegeta, Dragon Ball Z
In quiet strength, you walked your path, With dreams too big for walls to hold A warrior’s heart, a steady laugh, A gentle soul, yet fierce and bold.
In pixel worlds and ink-drawn skies, You saw more than just a game
You saw a place where courage thrives, Where heroes rise and earn their name
"Push through the pain," Vegeta said, "Giving up hurts more than fight"
And Quinton, you lived by those words, Choosing growth instead of flight.
Through every trial, you stood tall, With eyes on goals not yet in sight
You found joy in Everything, In stories filled with fire and light
"When you give up, that’s when the game ends," A coach once said, and so it's true.
But you, dear Quinton, played with heart And taught us all what strength can do
So now we hold your legacy, A beacon through both joy and pain. Your spirit lives in all you’ve touched , In every storm, we’ll stand again
You pushed through pain, you never gave in, You played the game with soul and grace
Now rest, brave heart, your fight is done
But your light still shines in this place.
