Thomas "Tommy" Roy O'Quinn, 38, of Ashley, Indiana died unexpectedly as the result of a work accident on Thursday, March 5, 2026, in Angola.

He was born April 18, 1987, in LaGrange to Jimmy D. and Leann M. (Witham) O'Quinn. They preceded him in death.

On April 16, 2016, at the Steuben County Fairgrounds in Angola he married Stephanie Baker.

Tommy worked for First Call Towing and Express Truck Repair in Fremont. He was also a volunteer fireman for the Ashley-Hudson Fire Department.

He was a firefighter in every sense of the word—steadfast, selfless, and deeply committed to the calling that shaped his entire life. The firehouse wasn't just where he worked; it was where he found purpose, brotherhood, and the chance to serve his community with courage day after day. He carried that sense of duty with him everywhere, always ready to help, always the first to step forward when someone needed him.

Beyond the uniform, he had a quieter side that came alive in the outdoors. Waterfowl hunting was more than a pastime for him—it was a place of peace, reflection, and connection to the natural world. Whether standing in the early morning stillness or watching the sun rise over the lake, he found a kind of calm there that balanced the intensity of his work. Those moments, surrounded by the sounds of nature, were some of his happiest.

He lived a life defined by service, passion, and the simple joys that grounded him. His dedication, his love for the outdoors, and the way he poured himself into everything he cared about will be remembered by all who knew him.

Surviving are his wife, Stephanie O'Quinn of Ashley; a son, Bradley O'Quinn of Ashley; Wayne Cummings of Ashley who Tommy raised as his son; and a sister and brother-in-law, Brenda and Andy Mast of Waterloo.
