Always in our heart. Irvin was an inspiration to everyone who knew him. He was so faithful at Mill Creek. He was faithful til the end, coming to church when we knew he was in pain. He will certainly be missed. No one can fill his place.

You will be missed by all who were blessed to know you. I will never forget all the good times we shared while at Fairway Baptist Church. You were such an inspiration and I will never forget you.
