James Irwin Obituary

We are sad to announce that on May 12, 2026 we had to say goodbye to James Irwin (Dayton, Ohio), born in Tupelo, Mississippi. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As we bid adieu to James' earthly form, let us not dwell on the void left in his wake, but rather celebrate the legacy of love and inspiration James has bequeathed us. For though he may have departed from our sight, his spirit remains a timeless beacon, guiding loved ones through the labyrinth of life's journey.

He was predeceased by: his significant other Gene Combs; his parents, Gertrude Heard and William E. Irwin; and his brother Buddy Irwin. He is survived by: his friend Phillip Davis; and his brother Carl Irwin.

He will be deeply missed by all who were privileged to know him, and his contributions to the world of design will continue to resonate for many years to come.To share a memory of James or leave a special message for his family, please visit the Guestbook below.
