Donald Lee Irwin's Obituary
Donald Lee Irwin was born May 10, 1938 in Newark, Ohio and died March 15, 2021 in Columbus, Ohio. Don was preceded in death by parents Forrest Glenn and Grace Fay (nee Prevost) Irwin, daughter Wendy Lynn Irwin, sister Doloris Harper, and four infant siblings. He is survived by his wife Kay, stepdaughters Susan (Jim) Gordon and Sara Stoll, stepson Eric (Jacque) Stoll, and step-grandchildren Brenden Gordon, Lauren Gordon and Oliver Stoll. Also surviving him are his daughters Lisa Irwin and Tina Nash, grandchildren Samantha Irwin and Colin (Natalie) Randolph, great-granddaughters Haley Reed and Abigail Reed, great-great-grandson Brantley Shaver and many other relatives and friends. Our thanks to Rev. Larry Runkle for his guidance and comfort not just through these last weeks, but through the past 30 years. Don would say his greatest blessing was Janice Runkle’s rhubarb pie. As was Don’s wish, there will be no service. In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to OhioHealth Hospice and Palliative Care at Doctors Hospital, 5100 West Broad Street, Columbus, OH 43228 or the church or charity of your choice.
