The Oral Roberts University where Quaynor was schooling and was the captain of their football team described the late Ghanaian footballer as an “epitome of the mission we strive for in our Athletic Department."
"He was a leader on the field as a captain of the men’s soccer team and had a spirit-empowered heart ready to lead and impact the world for Jesus. His infectious smile will be missed all over the ORU campus, but his spirit will live on as we will never forget #27.”
