Irwin was a pilot for the Army Air Corp during World War II. After completing single engine training in California, he transferred to Salt Lake City to learn twin engine transports.

He earned a Doctorate Degree in Psychology from the University of Omaha, Nebraska, and worked for the Provo School District as a counselor for 12 years.
He will be remembered for being a loving and supportive husband, father and friend.

His knowledge and insight on life were an inspiration to all that knew him. He will be greatly missed.
