He is survived by his wife of 21 years, Katy, and daughter Madison Kate.
Irving will be remembered as a gentle man who was kind and listened well. He was devoted to his family and loved being a husband and father. His faith in God gave him a peace that passes all understanding.
The family wishes to express its deep gratitude to those on the beach who came to his aid and tried everything they could to save him. Mahalo.
Visitation will begin at noon on Saturday, March 22, with services starting at 1 p.m. at the Kalaheo Missionary Church. Scattering of his ashes will follow at Maha‘ulepu Beach at 3 p.m. The family requests no flowers, please.
