QUINN ELIZABETH FIKE Quinn Elizabeth Fike, 16, was born on August 4, 2005 in Las Vegas.

On June 8, 2022 Quinn passed away from a tragic hiking accident near her home in Las Vegas, in which her type1 diabetes may have played a role.

Quinn is a third generation Nevadan and the only daughter of Gary Edward Fike, age 71 and Tonia Fike, age 53.

Quinn was a dance major and honors student at the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts and was set to start her senior year in August. Quinn was incredibly academic with a 4.3 GPA. She had thoughts of attending University of Oregon, and was invited to attend the medical program at Berkeley. Quinn was an avid outdoor enthusiast who enjoyed playing tennis, hiking, rock climbing, and camping with her family. In April, she and her mother, Tonia, attended the three-day Coachella Music Festival in Southern California. Quinn loved live music!

Quinn had recently returned from a 15day rafting trip down the Colorado River of the Grand Canyon with her father, Gary, step-mother, Mary, and her brother Owen.

She was the light of our lives - intelligent, creative, beautiful, funny and dedicated to making an everlasting impact in this world.
