As communities across the U.S. mark the 24th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks that shook the nation, thousands of families continue to grieve the personal losses of their loved ones.
One Brooklyn family is honoring the legacy of their son and brother, Jimmy Quinn, who died at 23 in the North Tower, by attending the New York Mets game against the Texas Rangers on September 12. This event will serve as a dedicated and fitting tribute to the young finance professional who tragically lost his life while at work.
“Jimmy crammed more life in his short 23 years than most people do in a lifetime,” Joe Quinn, U.S. Army veteran and brother of Jimmy, told Fox News Digital.

He said that, citing his circumstances, Quinn’s parents and West Point offered to relieve him of active duty.
“I wasn’t going to hear any of that,” he said. “To say I was a perfect cadet my senior year would be a lie. I really struggled just getting through that year, but thank God I did.”
Quinn trusts his calling was to serve alongside his brothers in arms both back then and today.Â
“I lost a brother, but my wife lost her brother in Iraq,” he said. “We lost thousands of soldiers overseas and there are a lot of families that lost their brothers because they raised their right hand to serve their country after 9/11.”
As a managing director at Drexel Hamilton, a 100 percent veteran-owned and operated investment bank, Quinn embraces his day job as a way of honoring his brother.
“We do very normal, boring investment banking stuff, but we also have a mission of hiring veterans,” he said.
He also serves as a member of the Museum Visionary Network Leadership Council at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum.
“They were a huge part of my healing and my family’s healing,” Quinn said. “His name on the pole is where we go to pay our respects.”
