3 weeks ago today, my younger brother, Brian, died unexpectedly. I kind of just immersed myself in the gym since then to help cope with all the emotions that have come along with it. 99% has helped me mentally, so I guess the physical bonus is the remaining 1%. PS, I had to replace my phone with this temporary one, a Galaxy A15 from 2023, and the photos aren’t clear. No bueno. *Taken from: https://www.instagram.com/therealjohnjquinlan/
“It’s been almost 3 weeks since my younger brother died suddenly. It still seems like a dream, that it’s not real. Surreal. I can’t wrap my hands around the idea that he is now gone forever. I’ll never see him again physically in my natural life. Here today, gone tomorrow. No goodbye, just gone in a blink. Many things to me that seemed to matter before his death no longer carry the same importance. Life is fragile. This is sadly one of the most painful reminders of it for me. But the show must go on. So, until I see you on the other side, let’s give it hell. I’m sure you wouldn’t want me to do it any other way. Respect.” – Brian William Quinlan, February 12, 1977 – May 17, 2025 *Taken from: https://www.instagram.com/therealjohnjquinlan/ ***Photo by Steve Mark

“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
“I want to thank everyone for all the love I have received after losing my younger brother. I’ve seen all the condolences & I am forever grateful to you all. Rest in Power Brian.” Brian William Quinlan, February 12, 1977 – May 17, 2025 https://www.robinsonfuneralhome.com/obituaries/brain-quinlan
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
With my brother Brian’s sudden unexpected passing away last week, it’s like starting a new life without him and with that comes needed change. With the help of a brand-new blade and an electric razor in the problem spots, a clean-shaven look was achieved with good results. The facial hair was causing me some serious irritation. With 2 surgeries in the past on my lower right chin due to folliculitis, I have it under control. 5/26/2025 *Taken from: https://www.instagram.com/therealjohnjquinlan/
