Connie “Con” Allen Quattlebaum, 91, a long-time resident of King George, Va., passed away peacefully on April 7, 2025.

Con was born in Greenville, Texas, on May 21, 1933, to the late Melvin Fletcher Quattlebaum and Ethel Read Quattlebaum.  He was the youngest son of 12 children.

He was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed riding horses, fishing, training and hunting with his bird dogs and tending a vegetable garden.  He had a passion for music, played the guitar and wrote songs. Con loved watching the play of the seasons across the fields and woods of his country home, Springfield Farm.

His family lovingly remembers his kindness, sense of humor and curiosity about the natural world.

Con served in the United States Coast Guard and graduated from Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, in 1958.  He spent his career at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren, Va., and retired as an operations research analyst. He found solace and strength in his faith and was an active member of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in King George, Va.

Con is survived by his beloved wife of 67 years, Helen Kathleen Quattlebaum, daughters Mary Quattlebaum (Christopher David), Helen L. Quattlebaum, Ann Hare (Kevin), Linda Cobelo, sons Mel Quattlebaum (Paige), Paul Quattlebaum, Daniel Quattlebaum (Kristine Bergin), 13 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, and his sister, Linda K. Quattlebaum.

A funeral Mass will be held on Thursday, April 10, 2025, at 2 p.m. at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in King George, Va.  Interment will follow in the church cemetery, with a Celebration of Life after that in the church hall.  In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Virginia Conservation Network https://vcnva.org/
