Age 55, passed away on Sunday, June 2, 2013 after a courageous battle with cancer. Irvin was born May 5, 1958 in Lansing, Michigan, to Howard and Donna Kebler of Eagle, MI.

Irvin is remembered as a great husband, father, brother and friend. He graduated from Grand Ledge High School in 1976 and from Michigan State University in 1981 with a degree in Finance. He enjoyed a long career in banking before becoming Chief Operating Officer of the Eyde Company. Irvin had a wide variety of interests including motorcycles, skiing, airplanes and golf. In addition to his range of hobbies, he was a self-proclaimed “project guy”, which included activities around his mother’s farm, and his home. Irvin’s greatest passion was his family. His two children, Stephanie and Michael, were a source of incredible joy and pride. Whether it was academics, motocross, or athletics, following Stephanie and Michael’s careers from grade school through MSU, he was always there to give his unconditional love and support.
