It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we mourn the passing of Denny L. Irwin.

Denny was born on December 17, 1947 in Brookville, PA, and passed away peacefully at home, in Mesa, surrounded by family, on May 31, 2018 after battling brain cancer.

He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Eileen (McGowan) Irwin, his son Bryan (Toie) Irwin of Muscatine, IA, daughter Stacey (Christopher) Kutzler of De Pere, WI, four grandchildren, three step-grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and eight step-great-grandchildren. He is also survived by brothers Rod Irwin of Pittsburgh, PA, Kim (Ann Marie) Irwin of Elizabeth, CO, Gerry and Matt Irwin of Erie, PA, six nephews, two great-nephews, two great nieces and many others who loved him and thought of him as family.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Clair Eugene “Ted” and Mary Olivia (Riggs) Irwin, and a brother, Teddy Shawn.

Denny graduated from McDowell High School in Erie, PA, in 1965, where he participated in gymnastics. He became a Draftsman by trade and enjoyed drawing, painting, reading, square dancing, classic cars, and collecting owl figurines and statuary.

Denny was interred at Mountain View Cemetery following a small private family gathering.

    My condolences to the family of Denny Irwin in their time of loss. I have known Denny for over 50 years and he was a good man. He was a hard worker and who tried to provide for his family the best he could and if help was needed , Denny seemed willing enough to pitch in and give a helping hand. He could be as serious as a situation required, but he also had a pretty good sense of humor. He will be sorely missed.

    My deepest condolences to you Eileen and your family? May he find peace and serenity with his Maker?

    This is my Papa. I love him so much. I’m so sorry I can’t be there right now, when my family needs all the extra love. But if you read this, I love you ? and Papa’s owl collection was the best. ?????
