A 16-year-old Bristol County student who died Sunday in a tragic car crash is being remembered.

Dylan Quinn passed away after a crash at approximately 7:30 a.m. on Route 79 in Berkley.

Quinn was also known as a lacrosse player and a hockey goalie throughout Bristol County. Due to his love of hockey, those in the community began a sticks out for Dylan campaign where those who wanted to honor him are leaving a hockey stick outside their door and posting a photo of it to social media with the hashtag #sticksoutfordylan.

Another campaign is asking the public to post the above picture of Dylan on a Facebook page or as a temporary profile picture.

According to Bristol-Plymouth Regional Technical School Superintendent Alexandre Magalhaes, counselors will be available between the hours of 8 a.m. to noon today, inside the B-P cafeteria to assist students and staff as the school community mourns the passing of Quinn. Counselors will also be available in the coming weeks for anyone needing their services.
