Douglas Hinkle Irwin

Douglas H. Irwin, born August 23, 1927, passed away peacefully January 12, 2018, surrounded by family.

Doug was indeed a fortunate individual. He devoted his life to the practice of oral surgery and in so doing accumulated many friends and associates throughout his life. He was blessed to have had the love of a devoted family and wife. He was inspired by a loving wife, Sue, and Christian friends who supported him always. He had a life long interest in fitness and enjoyed gardening, ballroom dancing, fly fishing, and long walks with Sue both home and abroad. His ambition in life was to be a good husband and father, at which he succeeded. He was loved and will be missed.

He was preceded in death by his son, John Douglas Irwin. He is survived by his wife, Sue Irwin, children, Amanda Irwin (Ross Reed), Roberto Irwin, Diane Dercher (Eric), Jennifer Irwin (Pedro Carranza), John Coe (Debbie), and grandchildren, August Irwin, Abby and David Dercher, John and Chris Molina, and Jack, David and Lydia Coe.
