John Irwin

July 11, 1951 - May 28, 2022

I Hate Cancer! I lost my soulmate and my greatest love 5/28/22 from that hated word. Husband to Laura Beckstead, he was the father of Troy, Eric (Tina) Irwin, Evan (Samantha) Irwin, Bryce Petersen. Grandfather to Chance Irwin, and Lexi Wilcox. John was one of the great generation of truck drivers who could drive anything with wheels. He had over 2 million miles, & drove for some of the greats like Dick Simon, George Irwin, Granite and owned his own company for over 20 years. He worked with belly dumps, OTR, and heavy haul. He had forgotten more than most drivers learn and had a non-stop work ethic that is rarely seen anymore. John was also a wonderful mechanic and could fix anything. His best friends Scott Boettcher (Laura), Terry (Jan) Applebee were there to the end helping and watching over us both. Services will be held June 3rd (Friday) at 10:30 am at Premier Funeral Services at 67 East 8000 South with a viewing the night before from 6-8 pm.
