Over 26 years ago, Irvin and Lyla dedicated their lives to the Savior, Jesus Christ. Irvin spent many wonderful years sharing the gospel through guest speaking at functions and witnessing to others.
Irvin was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, true friend and his love of Jesus was shown greatly by his actions and words, “Praise The Lord”.
