Don was born in Port Alberni and eldest of six siblings, after moving to many locations and finally settled on Salt Spring Island. He will be dearly missed by his three children, five grand-children and five great grandchildren.
He was an enthusiast outdoors man and supported his family by hunting, fishing and diving. He was a prominent community member of the Salt Spring Island Fire Department and later in life became a Salt Spring Island Trustee.
The family was blessed to have Don taken care of by the loving and caring staff of Ty Watson House in Port Alberni.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Ty Watson House in memory of Donald Irwin. A community Celebration of Life will be held on Salt Spring Island on April 22nd from 12 – 4 pm at the Royal Canadian Legion #92 Meadon Hall.
