Add A Condolence

Howard and I were in grade school together, grew up on the West side of town. He was a nice person. My condolences. Mayde Daniel Ransom

Two of my most shared memories were with Howard. We were shadowboxing on horseback in Chickamauga Park when I fell and broke my wrist. Another day we were riding at Brushy Branch and stopped to eat a snack. AW asked what kind of cheese crackers I had. I said wheat. several minutes later just out of the blue Howard hollers wheat. We all laughed and for many years would randomly holler wheat as an insider joke. He will be missed but promise not forgotten - Rick Daffron.

RIP Mr. Irvin. Thank you for blessing me with Shahara, your daughter is such a beautiful kind soul with a big heart. She is in good hands, we will always be there for her.

Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage Officer Howard Mitchel Irvin you've stood your watch! Stephon McClure & Family

You will be greatly missed. Some of my best childhood memories were with you laughing, smiling, and when you would hide candy for me to find. You never met a stranger, and I always loved that about you. I know you are having a wonderful time in heaven. You will be greatly missed you are loved. You are a part of some of my best childhood memories. RIP Uncle Howard. 💙

Howard was a friend and fellow officer. He was fun to be around, and the public and his fellow officers respected him. I don't think I ever received a complaint on Howard. I am glad I could spend time with him and one his daughters this past Christmas. My life has been made richer having known and worked with this jolly giant of a man. Jim Free

So glad to have known for long time. You were always gracious to me and the students I taught. God bless your family. You will be missed.
