Roy Quick, 87, died Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026.
Born in Marlboro County, South Carolina, he was the son of the late Elmore and Shellie Steen Quick.
Roy spent most of his career in the textile industry. He worked 35 years with Cone Industries. For the past 20 years, he owned and operated Quick’s Sales and Service, troubleshooting water wells and pumps. Roy had a brilliant mechanical mind and could repair numerous pieces of equipment.
Roy never met a stranger and was loved by all who knew him. Roy had a generous heart and spirit. He lovingly shared his time and resources with his family and community.
Roy loved politics and actively supported and campaigned for the candidates that he thought would best serve his community, county, state and nation. Family and friends lovingly appointed him as “The Mayor of Hairetown.”
Roy enjoyed hunting, fishing and growing vegetables. He will be missed especially at Thanksgiving because he always grew collards in the fall and would not cut them until Thanksgiving week. He was also known for his famous homemade sausage.
