Brian Kinney 9/11/01

I have the honor of paying tribute to Brian Kinney.  He was 28 on 9/11/01.  He worked for Pricewaterhouse as a Manager.  He was a passenger on United Airlines Flight 175 for a business trip to California.  Brian was married and leaves behind his parents and many, many friends. 
Growing up he spent his time working at his dad's service station in Lowell, Mass.  He enjoyed the customers whether at the station in overalls or in a business suit at Pricewaterhouse.  Brian has many pages of personal messages on legacy.com..... here are some left for him and for his family - I'm sorry he was killed that awful day, he sounds like a great guy.

Merry Christmas old friend. I miss you so much. Nicole S, Lowell, Massachusetts

We'll never forget you Brian. I didn't know you well, you were just a kid at the gas station pumping my gas, but you stood out because of your always friendly disposition. We'll never forget you, you'll be in our prayers forever. I stopped by your memorial at the gas station this morning and said a silent prayer for you.

You'll always be remembered buddy!

happy birthday Brian, Philip hardy

I'm Brian's cousin and I think about him every day. Every year since that horrible day I ask that people light a candle, hang a flag and say a prayer in honor of his life and remembrance of his beautiful soul taken far to early. I remember playing with him as kids up at the farm, getting snowmobile rides from he and his brother. Life got busy for everyone but at every wedding all the cousins picked up were we left off... laughing dancing and having a blast together his dance moves were priceless. I will always take this day in particular to remember all those who were taken and send love to heaven for My cousin Brian. god bless you Brian, Much love Jennifer Sonnabend, Massachusetts

To The Kinney Family, It will be two years soon since this horrible tragedy and I would like to extend my condolences to the Kinney family. Although I have never met Brian I did work with his Mom, Darlene and from how she spoke of him I know he was a wonderful, caring, compassionate man who will be missed dearly. I want to express my sympathies to the family but especially you Darlene, for I could only feel for you for the lost of you son. God Bless You, Norman, Tim and the family. Email me sometime, I'd like to get together. Your friend, Ginger Tofalo, Dracut, Massachusetts

I want to extend my heart felt condolences to the family of Brian Kinney. Though I never knew Brian we are related going back to Israel Kinney. Though I can't say how, I was directly involved in responding to the events of Sept. 11 and continue to be involved in Homeland Security to this day. I say this because I want you to know Brian will serve as a daily reminder to me for why myself and others are doing what we're doing to help protect the people of this country from another senseless tragedy. God bless you all. Sincerely, ROBERT KINNEY, QUINCY, Massachusetts

As Alison's older sister, I have watched her deal with losing her beloved husband with both grace and a great deal of bravery. I miss Brian every day - I don't think I ever saw him without a smile on his face. He was one of the few people I ever met who was completely content with his life - despite working long hours and dealing with the trials we all deal with, he was always happy, always loving, always worried about how everyone else was doing. I don't think I'll ever know anyone else like him. Alison, you're my inspiration - I couldn't be more proud of you. My heart goes out to Norm, Darlene and the rest of Brian's family as they continue to cope with this tremendous loss. We will never forget him. Ann Draper, Lowell, Massachusetts
