Motivational speaker, ALS advocate and ice bucket challenge co-founder Pat Quinn died Sunday after a seven-year fight with ALS.

Pat Quinn, a motivational speaker and co-founder of the ice bucket challenge, died Sunday at the age of 37 following a seven-year battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Quinn is one of the co-creators of the ice bucket video challenge, which first took social media by storm in summer 2014. .

While it was a viral sensation then, Quinn remained committed to the fight against ALS, starting the Quinn for the Win foundation and giving talks at schools and events locally in Westchester, New York, but also across the country.

Pat Quinn, 33, of Yonkers was one of the key people to make the Ice Bucket Challenge go viral two years ago.

The school dedicated the southwest corner of Mazzella Field as "Pat Quinn Corner." It also awarded him with the first Pat Quinn Courage Award in 2019
