'As he lived, he moved through this final act of life with elegance, excellence and mastery,' Quincy, a singer, told The Hollywood Reporter. 'A teacher, a hero and a king, Dabney Coleman is a gift and blessing in life and in death as his spirit will shine through his work, his loved ones and his legacy... eternally,' she concluded.
