Thomas Irwin Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 16, 2025.
Bensalem - Thomas J. Irwin, 57, passed away on August 6, 2024, in Bensalem, PA. Born on December 2, 1966, Thomas dedicated four years of his life to serving in the U.S. Army from 1985 to 1989, where he developed a strong sense of discipline and commitment.

Following his military service, Thomas embarked on a significant career with SEPTA, where he worked for over 20 years as a construction inspector. His meticulous attention to detail and robust work ethic were highly valued by his colleagues and superiors.

Thomas was a devoted family man, survived by his wife Theresa, son Shane, mother Jewell Latham, sister Kimberly McCann, niece Katherine McCann, and numerous in-laws and extended family members. His passion for Warhammer was not just a hobby but a bonding activity with his son, Shane, where they spent countless hours playing and crafting model armies.

Thomas will be remembered for his dedication to his country, his career, and above all, his family. His presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
