Douglas Irwin Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 30, 2009.
DOUGLAS REGINALD IRWIN 1959 - 2009 It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden but courageous passing of Douglas Irwin on Sunday, June 28, 2009 at the age of 49. Doug will be dearly missed by his parents Doug and Lois, his brothers Scott and Brent, sisters-in-law Carol and Sue, and his nephews and nieces Chris, Mike, Nicole, Jamie and Colin, as well as a wide circle of family and friends. Doug was a longtime member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and worked for Stacey Electric and Guild Electric in Toronto. Although Doug did not live a long life, he did live a happy life. He enjoyed summers at the cottage at Maple Lake in Haliburton and spending time in Florida in the winter. Most recently, he found a passion for taking cruises in the Caribbean with his family. Doug will be remembered through his generosity, his willingness to help out, his joy in sharing stories and his unique sense of humour. The family will receive friends at the OGDEN FUNERAL HOME, 4164 Sheppard Ave. East, Agincourt (east of Kennedy Rd.) on Wednesday from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. A Funeral Service will be held on Thursday at 10 a.m. in the Ogden Chapel. Interment will take place at St. Peter's Church in Haliburtion following the service. Donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Brent, that time should heal a wound such as this is a cliché not apt for the loss of a sibling. Though the pain of loss may linger, the memories will be enriched with age--such is the only comfort I can pass on from my own experience. Let him live on in your words and in your heart. Condolences to all with whom Brent's path has crossed theirs. The journey continues on in another realm.
