Irwin D. Lips Obituary
We are sad to announce that on October 13, 2025, Irwin D. Lips of Chicago, Illinois passed away. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid Irwin farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Irwin is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Lena Lips and Benny Lips; his significant other Ellen Irwin; his sister Helene Ann Lips Keller; his nephew Steven Keller; and his great-nieces and great-nephews, Joshua, Benjamin and Lauren Keller.
