John “Stoneface” Quinlan Eulogy for His Brother Brian (2025)

Share on Twitter
My little brother Brian’s funeral mass eulogy on May 30, 2025, at Most Blessed Sacrament Parish in Wakefield, Massachusetts. My brother was a great person with a huge heart who would help anyone in need. Gone suddenly and far too soon, I’m going to miss him. Along with my late grandfather, I also mentioned a few special people for their positive impact on my life’s journey with my brother through lasting memories and kind words on his passing. Our late childhood friends John Michael Hughes & Michael Chaffee, along with Kane Hodder and Marc Mero. The church was built in 1933, so the video was set as a retro theme from that era (as the original footage was a bit off). I wish the camera was a bit closer, but I’m still very grateful to have this. The audio had some significant echo and background noise, which was improved a bit for additional clarity, although still not the best. I’ll cherish the good times, all the laughs we had, and remember you for your kindness to others.”
– Love always, your big brother
