Does anyone think that if Qui-Gon had never been killed by Darth Maul and became Anakin Skywalker's mentor; he would have likely prevented the latter's fall to the Dark side and from becoming Darth Vader in the first place.

Unlike Qui-Gon's former apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi, who failed miserably as both a friend and mentor to Anakin, who constantly criticizing and lecturing him on everything he did wrong despite the fact Anakin had good intentions, occasional lied and deceived Anakin, as well as keeping secrets from him, never openly defended his former apprentice to the Jedi High Council when he was in the presence, as Obi-Wan only did it when he wasn't around; Obi-Wan ultimately failed to learn from his mistakes.

Because he was unaware of Obi-Wan defending him to the Jedi High Council, Anakin believed that the latter never fully trusted or supported him; it was obvious from the beginning that, he was ready to take on an apprentice, as Obi-Wan is one of the reasons why the persona of Darth Vader was created in the first place.
