On December 27, 1936, his father passed away in a mining accident and his mother passed away on February 10, 1940. Danny and his sister were raised by their grandparents Elmer Harold and Lydia E. (Lee) Britton. Danny served in the United States Army from 1960 until 1962 and was stationed at Fort Hood Texas. He worked many jobs through the years, starting as a Roughnecker in the oil fields as a young man and later as a welder. Later he worked at P.O. Baker in Newton putting up grain bins throughout Illinois. Danny worked during the construction of the CIPS Newton Power Station and then became a full-time employee as a repairman at the plant until his retirement after 20 years of service. Danny was a member of the Plainfield Church in Rose Hill, Illinois, Winterrowd Masonic Lodge #664, and loved supporting Shriners Hospital for Children. Danny was a lifelong musician known far and wide who could play many instruments, but he excelled as a fiddle player, placing well in state fiddle competitions over the years. He started out playing at a young age and joined his older brothers with the \u201cRhythm Makers.\u201d They played with many different musicians over the years for country and bluegrass dances. He helped organize and manage the entertainment at many local opries. Danny entertained so many folks over the years with his talent, wit and humor. Danny was avid outdoors, especially hunting and fishing. In his later years, Danny had a place at Rosiclare, in Southern Illinois. He thoroughly enjoyed the people of Hardin County, making lots of friends and spending countless hours catching fish on the Ohio River.<br \/>\nOn December 5, 1994, Danny married Maxine Evelyn (Riker) Tohill and she survives.<\/p>\n<p>Danny is survived by: Wife of 31 years \u2013 Maxine Quick; Children \u2013 Larry (Gwen) Quick of Newton, Illinois; Lawrence (Connie) Quick of Robinson, Illinois; and Elizabeth (Josh) Homann of Dieterich, Illinois; Grandchildren \u2013 Connor Quick, Ashley (Casey) Catt, Brittany (Jaryd) Webster, Britton Quick, Draven Homann, Pantera Homann, Coraline Homann, Halo Homann, Blithe Homann, Theia Homann, Amber Wallin, and Carrie Mettendorf; Great Grandchildren \u2013 Noah Catt, Aubrey Webster and Emily Webster; Sister-in-law \u2013 Anna Britton of Newton, Illinois; Several nieces, nephews and special friends also survive.<\/p>\n<p>Danny was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, son Randy Quick, siblings Velva (Ray) Riley, Glen (Ilah) Britton, Sam Britton, Martin \u201cMax\u201d Britton, Wayne \u201cPete\u201d (Lois) Britton, Burl \u201cBake\u201d (Yvonne) Britton, Richard \u201cDanny\u201d (Florence) Britton and Barbara Joan Spurling and a special nephew Brett Britton.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oliver Dan \u201cDanny\u201d Quick, age 89, of Bogota, Illinois, passed away at 1:45 PM on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, at Helia Healthcare in Newton, Illinois.
