Art Wirz Obituary

Art L. Wirz, 58, passed away on September 10, 2025, in Sand Point, ID. Born on May 21, 1967, Art brought joy and laughter into the lives of those around him with his happy demeanor, witty stories, and playful silliness.

Art grew up attending Live Oak Elementary and Live High School before pursuing higher education in culinary and business management in Seattle, Washington.

His passion for storytelling was only matched by his love for cars, spending countless hours at car shows, races, and tinkering with car parts.

Art is survived by his mother, Sharee Howard of Corning, CA; father, Eddie Wirz of Yuba City, CA; sister, Ronda Holder of Cherokee, CA; and Teresa Ramize of OK.

Art's presence will be dearly missed, but his stories and joyful spirit will continue to live on in the memories of his friends and family.

Oopsie. He was born ion 1966, not 1967. Forgot to mention that he was an amazing husband for 32 years and a wonderful father. And survived by his other sister Christina Burbank, but as long as you get top billing-right?
