Jason Irvine Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 20, 2025.
Warren, MI- Jason Douglas Irvine (Jay) 6/27/71 - 8/15/25

Jason was born and raised in SLC, UT. The son of Bernie Irvine & Janet Doone Edwards Irvine. She passed away in 2020. He was heartbroken & longed to see her again. What a sweet reunion that must have been. Unfortunately at the age of 54 he was diagnosed with 3 types of cancer. Before he could receive treatment he developed pneumonia & passed away 3 weeks later. He fought so hard & wanted so desperately to live, but his body was tired & his cancer was so aggressive. He passed away in the arms of his wife, Liz. He met Liz in 1998 & they got married in 2008. They were affectionately known to each other as "Bub & Bubby" & wanted nothing more than to grow old together. Jason attended Ridgecrest Elem, Butler Middle School & Brighton High School. He had 2 children from his first marriage, Jonah & Olivia. He loved them dearly and was saddened that he had to leave them. Especially knowing he would miss important events in their lives. Jason had a very tender heart, a love for critters, enjoyed a good cup of coffee, his recliner & living a simple life (He was proud that he & his sister had learned that from their dad). He was kind, empathetic, loving & caring. He loved his younger years hiking up behind his childhood home, trips to Bear Lake, trips to uncle Bob's cabin, camping & fishing with his dad & long talks with his big sister. She & her husband are beyond grateful to have spent a week with him in Ashton, ID in 2023.

Jason & Liz moved to Michigan in 2017. They enjoyed travel including trips to Las Vegas, NYC, San Diego, the Grand Canyon & the historic Watervale Inn in Northern Michigan.

He is survived by his wife Liz, his dog Remi, his cat Addie, children Jonah & Olivia, his dad Bernie, his step mom Merlene (he was her favorite) his big sister Shellie, his "brother" in law Mike, his special niece Jessica, his brother Matt (Adana) 2 nephews Atlas & Talon, 1 niece Indigo, his In laws (and dear friends) Steve & Jackie, 3 step brothers & one step sister. Blade, Shad, Dustin & Kim. Many Aunts, Uncles & cousins.

Preceded in death by his mother Janet, his grandma LaRue, his grandpa Ferrell & his beloved dogs Pepe & Dia. Our hearts are broken. You were so young & you were so brave until the very end. You will be sorely missed Jay & never forgotten. Don't forget, this isn't goodbye. This is see ya later!

I love you so much little brother!!
I will honor you forever. Thank you for being not just a brother to me, but a really great friend!!
I will miss our long (sometimes 3 to 4 hours) conversations & how you would always listen to me. Truly listen. That is rare now days. I also want you to know how much Mike loved you & loved that you 2 were "brothers". He tries to be a tough guy, but your passing has affected him greatly.
You were the best little sidekick when we were growing up, and I had so much fun hiking above our old house & trips to Bear Lake, Bob's cabin, camping, 4-wheeling, etc..
We had so much fun with Mom & all the things she went overboard to do for us as kids! Holidays were the best, ever!! She was definitely a hands on mom. I'm so glad we leaned on each other after mom passed. I couldn't have done it without you, Jay. Now how am I going to get through losing you?!? I know how afraid you were to lose dad someday, and oddly I am comforted that you don't have to endure that. Although, dad now has to endure losing you. How strange life can be..
I can't even believe how quickly everything happened. What a blur. You fought so hard & I'm so proud to call you my brother. Thank you for making me "brave". I will cherish that memory the rest of my life.
I'm forever grateful to Scott Irvine for getting us to Michigan to be by your side for 6 days. The "3" Amigo's.
Stay near me as much as you can & take care of mom until I see you again. And I will!
Rest easy brother & my heart is full knowing that you are whole, healthy & happy.
I love you!!!
