Philip Alan Quick (1956-2008)
Born to the late Gene Quick and Nita J. Quick-Kuehn, Philip Alan Quick died at his home in Perris, Calif., on April 20, 2008, with his family by his side.
He was born Dec. 9, 1956.
Survivors include Rebecca Campbell Quick, his wife of 28 1/2 years; two daughters, Lori and Katherine; his mother, Nita J. Quick-Kuehn of Salem, Ore.; two brothers, Steve Quick of Perris and Mark (Marcia) Quick of Fontana, Calif.; two sisters, Spring Quick of Silverton, Ore., and Gina (Terry) Cunningham of Chadron, Neb.; a paternal aunt, Arvilla Quick of Perris; his mother-in-law, Myrtle (Earl) Price of Catlettsburg, Ky.; and a host of family and friends around the world.
Philip graduated from Corona High School in California, Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Ashland Community College in Ashland, Ky., and the University of Texas at Arlington. He received his doctorate (Ph.D.) in linguistics from the Australian National University in Canberra, Australia.
For 25 years of ministry with Wycliffe Bible Translators serving in Southeast Asia, he and his wife, Rebecca, served in linguistics and translation, particularly in the Tazlan language, since 1988. They helped write a previously unwritten language and wrote language books such as easy readers, stories and practical books. Scripture portions have been drafted for half of the New Testament with significant Old Testament portions also drafted.
Philip was a great thinker who learned by doing. It helped him to understand language by taking it all apart and putting it back together much like a jigsaw puzzle. His 715-page grammar of the Tazlan language was published in April 2008. Three other books that he edited or contributed to while undergoing chemotherapy are forthcoming.
Memorial services were at La Sierra Community Church in Riverside, Calif., by Pastor Jim Harcrow and the Rev. Matthew Smith. Interment was in Olivewood Memorial Park in Riverside.
