Irvin was predeceased by his wife Linda Adams, his mother Rosemary Delyea, and father Alphonse. His grandfather Joe and grandmother Laura Napish and sister Jacqueline McCorriston. He was survived by his children Jennifer, Stephanie (Travis), Christopher (Melissa), and O’Hara.

His siblings Lucille (Gaylin), David, Grant (April), Gerry (Harold), Treena (Mark) and also numerous nieces. nephews, and friends.
Irvin was a hard worker with an amazing heart and resided his entire life in this area. The majority of his work life was in the bush, on the machine or guiding on Eagle Lake. Most recently working at Emcon to ensue that our roads were safe. He made many friends over the years and continued to connect with them when he could.
Irvin had a deep love for fishing and hunting, he spent a lot of time on the land or on the water showing his son all the secret spots.
In early years, Irvin spent many days and evenings watching his son Christopher “Gretsky” play hockey, which later lead to spending time at the rink with his grandson Sheldon.
He enjoyed netting and hunting, he worked hard to be able to provide for his family with fall harvest
He missed his wife Linda and will be so glad to be reunited with her.
His humor and compassion will be dearly missed by all those who knew him.

January 5, 2022 at 6:04 pmMy condolences to the Adams family. I met Irvin about 30 years ago when he was a Band Councillor and have considered him a friend since then
Irvin always had time for a chat and I can’t think of a time that we didn’t share a laugh. Truly a nice man who will be missed
