My brother’s funeral mass is tomorrow, so I met with the funeral director just now, and we were given this. The watch my brother had on when he died. Very fitting as it is one of the same watches worn by Paul Stanley of Kiss. Brian loved those 80’s rock bands. That was my brother. He was one cool cat. – Love always, your big brother Brian William Quinlan, February 12, 1977 – May 17, 2025 https://www.robinsonfuneralhome.com/obituaries/brain-quinlan
I’d like to personally thank Matthew Shaw, one of my younger brother Brian’s best friends, for sending me these throwback photos with my brother from high school / 1990’s. I still can’t believe it. 💔 Brian William Quinlan, February 12, 1977 – May 17, 2025 *Taken from: https://www.robinsonfuneralhome.com/obituaries/brain-quinlan
Gone forever, this is surreal. 1% of me still says, “this is just a very realistic bad dream.” I’m holding on to this 1% – Love, Your Big Brother Brian William Quinlan, February 12, 1977 – May 17, 2025 *Taken from: https://www.robinsonfuneralhome.com/obituaries/brain-quinlan
A rare photo taken in 1995 I just received of my younger brother Brian (left), who died on May 17, 2025, from one of his best friends, Matthew Shaw. It’s been one week now since he passed, and I’m still asking myself, “Is this real?” Thanks again, Matt, for the photo. It’s a nice capture. *Taken from: https://www.robinsonfuneralhome.com/obituaries/brain-quinlan
“I’ll sure miss you, Brian. Knowing I’ll never see you again in my natural life seems surreal and I don’t think I’ll ever fully have a hold onto that fact. 1% of me still believes this is a very realistic nightmare that I’ll just wake up from. I truly feel in my heart this is still a possibility. I’ve often told people, “I miss youth.” Brian, you were always part of my youth and now that time has passed, you have as well. I feel that part of the coping process is focusing on the good times, all the laughs we had, and remembering you for your kindness to others.” – Your Big Brother *Taken from: https://www.robinsonfuneralhome.com/obituaries/brain-quinlan
