Coach Que’s Legacy
First Down: November 8, 1969 - Last Down: May 19, 2022
Parents: Mae Katherine Lee & Clarence Peeples, Jr.
His Life:
Quentin grew up in Cherry Lake, Florida. As a child, he attended Spark Level Baptist
Church. He was a current member of Citadel of Hope Ministries located in Leesburg,
FL. He graduated from Wildwood High School, Class of 1987. He then attended Bethune

and making others look good, and he later became a licensed master barber. In 2007,
Quentin pursued another dream, his passions for music, recording, and DJ’ing. He
became the proud CEO of One Live Entertainment & One-Live Musiq Group.
Quentin never stopped dreaming BIG and pursing his passions. In 2012, he took a
leap of faith and became a full-time licensed barber. In June 2016 Quentin earned a
Bachelor’s Degree in Business Music from Full Sail University. He was determined to
be an example to the kids he served, and show them they could also achieve their goals.

Later, he was promoted to assistant operations manager. From 2008 to 2013, he
worked at Boys & Girls Club as a teen coordinator and bus driver. From 2017 to 2022,
he held the positions of Defensive Coordinator and Defensive Line Coach at Umatilla
and Leesburg High School. From 2018 to 2022, he was a Beverly Shores Elementary
assistant P. E. Teacher.
His LOVE:
He met his Soulmate in July of 1994. He leaves a million memories with his loving and
devoted wife, Regina L. Peeples, of 27 years, who he affectionally called “Gina Kat.”
