Brian Quirk Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Short & Rowe Funeral Home on Dec. 9, 2025.
Brian Quirk, 40, of Marlborough passed unexpectedly on Monday, December 1,2025, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, loyalty, and the simple joys he loved most.

His time with us was far too short, but the impact he made will be felt for a lifetime.

He graduated from Keefe Tech in 2004 and worked as a plumber for over 20 years. For the past 5+ years he worked for Mace Plumbing.

Brian loved fishing, camping, and animals, especially his dog-Chika, who he rescued from Puerto Rico. Everyone that knew him got to experience his unfiltered and fun sense of humor. Brian had a deep love for his Ford Truck-his pride and joy- and he spent countless hours behind the wheel, country music blasting, singing along to the songs that spoke to him. Those drives were his peace, his escape and his happiness. To know him was to know loyalty, humor, and heart.

Brian is survived by his daughter, Kaylee E. Quirk of Haverhill, his father Brian Quirk Sr. and his wife Jeanette Quirk, his mother Brenda Collette, three brothers: Nicholas Quirk, his wife Caitlin, and their son Neil of Boylston, Bryce Quirk of Arizona, and Max Quirk, two sisters, Lyndsey Moreno and her husband Eric, and Elizabeth Collette all of Lynn, and his fiancé, Melitza DeJesus and son Jovahnny of Marlborough.

Though his life ended far too soon, the love, laughter, and light he brought to this world will never fade. His story lives on in the people who loved him, in the roads he traveled, and in every country song that echoes a little of his spirit.

A celebration of life for Brian will be held on a later date.
