Michael James Quinn

July 19, 1980- August 8, 2022

Michael James Quinn, 42, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on August 8, 2022. He was born July 19, 1980 to James and Marilyn Quinn, and grew up in Bowie, Maryland with his three older sisters, later moving to Dunkirk. From a young age, Michael was an avid soccer player, and continued to follow the sport, as well as his beloved hockey team, the Washington Capitals.

He was a graduating member of the Randolph Macon Academy’s class of 1998, and later spent a wild semester at the University of Akron, with the only tangible result being a university t-shirt that he gave his father, who would jokingly refer to it as “his $7,000 shirt”.

Throughout his life he held a multitude of jobs, made many friends along the way, and loved music of many genres. He was most enthusiastic about electronic music, particularly house and drum and bass. Over the years he immersed himself in the DC music scene.

After struggling for many years, he arrived and found success at Helping Up Mission in Baltimore, where he once again made many friends with counselors, therapists, and other members due to his friendly, energetic, and charismatic nature.

He was proud to be an enthusiastic member of Back on My Feet Running Club and ran in several races, including the Bay Bridge 10K.

He had recently reconnected with family, spending every weekend and holiday with his mother, sisters, nieces, and nephews — and of course, his daughter Willa, to whom he dedicated himself lovingly and wholeheartedly.  

Michael is survived by his daughter Willa and her mother, Rachel Minkey; mother Marilyn Quinn; sisters Mary Quinn Jaensch and husband Rob, Amy Quinn Meade, and Kelly Quinn; nieces and nephews Alec and Erika Jaensch, Sarah and Katherine Meade, and Thomas, Henry, and Brian Church; as well as grand-nieces Scarlett and Maren Neff. He was preceded in death by his father, James Thomas Quinn.

The family has established a fund for the welfare and education of Willa. In lieu of flowers, we ask that any contributions be made either in the form of checks payable to Willa Minkey (9440 Old Solomons Island Rd., P.O. Box 454, Owings MD 20736), or to Helping Up Mission (1029 E. Baltimore St., Baltimore MD 21202).

A reception will be held immediately following the service in Padua Hall, adjacent to St. Anthony’s Church, and all are welcome to attend.

    To all of Mike’s wonderful family whom he always spoke so highly of , my thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this time. I hope we all can try and celebrate and cherish all the amazing moments we all got to share with Mike. Even though he isn’t with us I think he would want us to be strong and take care of each other while we celebrate his awesome life and all the people he touched on his journey. My condolences to you all and may the source of all love and light be with you to strengthen and guide you through this process. Quinn, my buddy we were roommates, friends , parental figures to each other when one needed a little kick in the butt and we had what some called a bromance lol. You have a very special place in so many peoples hearts . You helped me when I was down and out and I helped you when the tables were turned. No matter the distance or time in between we always found a way to be there for each other and I’ve realized that in life one doesn’t find to many people as good as a friend and mentor as you. Even though you occasionally got lost on your journey, you never failed to be there and show up for the ones you cared about along the way. You truly are a shooting star Quinn, and when I needed a friend I could count on you to be there to listen and give me one of your world famous hugs. I was so happy to see you last Friday and you made my weekend just from that little brief interaction we had and I’m just so grateful I got to see you one last time before you packed up your things and left for your cosmic journey. I know you are finally at peace buddy and I just want to say thank you for being such a brilliant and bright light in my life it’s truly been an honor Quinn. PS. Do me a favor buddy , find my grandma Helen and take her dancing for me till I get there ok she’s my favorite lady and I know she’s in good hands with you . Till we meet again friend.

    To the Quinn family…my heart breaks when such a spirited individual leaves us so young. I can only pray that God grants Michael peace in heaven, and his family comfort through the grieving process. I didn’t have the privilege of knowing Quinn for very long, but his drive and energy made those around him take notice.
    Michael- you will be missed.

    Dear Marilyn, my heart is breaking for you and your family. I really didn’t know Michael, but I was so happy to see him at Jim’s funeral and to hear that they had reconciled in the months before Jim’s death. It was obvious that Michael was a caring and loving father to Willa. I hope that she will always be a part of the Quinn family and have many fond memories of her daddy.
