Not sure what to say?

My brother received the ultimate promotion... He died firmly rooted in Jesus Christ. To his wife Lisa, daughter April,and son Avery, take comfort in knowing that Elvis loved you and that he's going to a better place. To my Mother and Father, you did an outstanding job in rearing sons with the knowledge that Jesus Christ is King.


Dear Lisa, April and Ivery,

I was so sad to hear of Irrie's death today! Thoughts of his love for God AND his people overcome me!

I have known Irrie since I was just a young person and know he will be missed by all who knew him.

We will be praying that God will be an everpresent help to all of you.

Fondly,

Susan Waggoner Kanowicz

I also had the pleasure of working with Irrie. There was no question about the integrity of this man. I am comforted to know that he is with our Lord. My prayers will be that God blesses the 3 of you as you continue with a life that pleases Him.

Irrie has been a wonderful neighbor and will be missed. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Lisa, April and Avery,
I never met Irrie, but I know you three and know too what it is to lose a parent at a young age. You all are in my thoughts and prayers, as you have been these many months. Take care of eachother and know you can and will come through this in time. You are loved, here and beyond.

Mrs. Newkirk
I had the pleasure of working with Irrie for 11 years at Okuma America. My life has been made richer for knowing him. Please rest in the fact that Irrie is with the Lord at the right hand of God. You and your family are in our prayers.

To the Newkirk Family,may God be with you in your time of sorrow. To him family in Jacksonville,which is my hometown also keep your trust in the master and he will give you the strenght to continue. I will keep the family in my prayers.

I remember meeting Irrie my first day at Okuma (Jan '90). By the end of the day I knew he was the kind of person you want as a friend. He could speak his mind w/o offending others and would always lend a helping hand. I can only think good thoughts when he comes to mind. He was a good coworker who always did his work and more.

My thoughts and prayers
are with you Lisa, April and Avery.
