If you are sticking with the classic UI, i'd recommend doing a bit of custom code (specifically CSS either by using the alternate CSS set on the /_layouts/15/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx or maybe injecting a usercustomaction)

#sideNavBox { display:none !important }
#contentBox { margin-left:20px !important; }

Those two lines are all you need, you just need a way to get them injected into the entire site.

Thanks for the tip Brent Ellis! Is there a way for me to put that code on my page easily with tools that I have out of the box? If so, can I add and remove it easily; if I want the quick launch back at some point in the future?

Thanks again,

Doug

If you want to do page by page, you can use the "Script Editor Web Part" and just paste those two lines in between a <style></style> tag.

If you use the "Alternate CSS", it should hypothetically apply to all pages.
