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
“Getting the news today that my younger brother Brian, 48 years old, died hit me like a ton of bricks. He was a great person, had a big heart, and would do anything for a friend in need. I keep saying this is a very realistic nightmare and that I’ll wake up. Sadly, it’s real. I basically did my first 50 years with him, and I’ll try my best to do the next 50 without him. Life is precious. I never thought I’d bury my baby brother. This is a tough one. Thank you for your kindness towards me, and I’ll always cherish the great memories I had with you. Until I see you on the other side, I love you, little brother.” Brian William Quinlan, February 12, 1977 – May 17, 2025 *Taken from: https://www.instagram.com/therealjohnjquinlan/
