In Memoriam

Quincy Enoch

The world has lost a father, a friend, a colleague, and one of the brightest lights to ever touch our hearts and souls. His kindness and fortitude, as well as his gift for making people feel loved and appreciated, were the hallmarks of Quincy’s life. He left this Earth peacefully, surrounded by loved ones.

Quincy served as Invariant’s Co-Chair of the Economic Policy practice, having joined in 2019. He was the firm’s North Star, quick with a smile, and always ready to share his insights or offer whatever he could to a colleague in need. “Today Invariant has a Q-shaped hole in our hearts,” said Heather Podesta, Invariant’s CEO. “We lost a leader, a best-in-class lobbyist, a tremendous advisor to clients and politicians alike, and a dear friend. He made us better and I dearly miss him.”

A respected member of the community, Quincy will be remembered for his boundless optimism and energy, depth of spirit, and his perfect blend of intelligence and levity. He loved to cook and was happiest nourishing the souls and bodies of friends and family with his talents, often preparing delicious BBQ meals at the grill, a passion that led to catering. A natural-born caregiver and host, Quincy endeared himself to anyone who crossed his path, personally or professionally. His was a unique voice in Washington, one of authenticity and purpose, with a stalwart foundation in kindness and faith.

"My dear friend Quincy Enoch has passed. I am so very saddened and heartbroken,” said Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA). “He was one of the most highly respected lobbyists in Washington. Quincy and I had a strong relationship, and he worked hard to support my work in every way he could. Quincy was an honest broker and always could be counted on to present information in a clear and thoughtful way. Quincy was one of the co-founders of the Financial Services Professionals and was a mentor to so many in the industry. We are all going to miss him and his wonderful smile that we could count on whenever we encountered him. Rest in peace, my dear friend,” said Waters.

Congressman Gregory Meeks (D-NY) added: “Some people walk through life quietly, but Quincy walked with purpose—with a heart full of compassion and a voice that never wavered. Quincy always found the good in people and used that skill to build bridges and unite us under a common purpose. He did not simply build a career in Washington; he built a legacy—one of kindness, conviction, and unshakable integrity. His word was his bond, his presence a force for change. Watching him grow into a phenomenal leader was truly an honor. His life left an indelible mark on me and all those he touched. He will forever be missed.”

Quincy was a decorated United States Army Reserve veteran, having served in Iraq. A compassionate advocate, Quincy raised funds for Gold Star Families, through the Children of Fallen Patriots scholarship program, and mentored countless young professionals. Additionally, Quincy was Executive Director of FSP, a career development and networking organization founded by Black financial services practitioners.

Yet by far Quincy’s most important priority and his reason for being was always his family. His face was brightest when talking about his children, Bella and Anthony, his wife Kelly, his mother Sandra, and his father Anthony. Quincy also had a deep and abiding love for the Lord, and his faith was a guiding principle in everything he did.

To know Quincy was to know how much he loved his family and was so proud to be a beloved husband, father, and son. One notable memory, shared often by his closest friends, was of his wedding day – where he sang not one, but three songs, all devoted to Kelly and the joy he felt in their blessed union. This is the man Quincy was. He wore his heart on his sleeve for those he loved, and he will be deeply missed. His entire family is in our hearts and prayers.
