Michael Conor Quinlan, 28, of Methuen, an Afghanistan Combat Veteran, passed away after a five-year battle with cancer which resulted in an opioid addiction on Friday, May 20, 2016. Michael was born in Methuen, the loving son of Daniel J. and Janet M. (McDonald) Quinlan of Methuen.
Mike was a 2006 graduate of Methuen High School, where he had much success as a hockey player and was a standout volleyball player. He also attended University of Massachusetts Lowell. Mike was an avid snowboarder and skateboarder and worked for many years at NOTB in Salem, N.H. He enjoyed anything and everything that involved the outdoors.
