*Taken from John Quinlan’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealjohnjquinlan/ Friday afternoon, it was nice seeing you just now Brian, even though it’s truly not the way I ever imagined it to be 💔
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 Brian William Quinlan, February 12, 1977 – May 17, 2025 https://www.robinsonfuneralhome.com/obituaries/brain-quinlan https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/bostonglobe/name/brian-quinlan-obituary?id=58463824 YouTube: https://youtu.be/2s2QRS_qHTY

“I was the very last one to leave Most Blessed Sacrament Parish after my brother’s funeral mass. The lot was empty and in silence I took this photo. The final photo of my brother.” Brian William Quinlan, February 12, 1977 – May 17, 2025 https://www.robinsonfuneralhome.com/obituaries/brain-quinlan
