John Andrew "Andy" Irwin, 50, of Pensacola, FL passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, June 26, 2021.

Andy was born in Pensacola, FL on December 30, 1970, to Gene and Barbara Irwin. He was later joined by his sister, Christy. Following in his father's footsteps Andy started working for the Pensacola Fire Department in 1994 where he retired after 25 years of service. Andy graduated from Woodham High school and Jefferson Davis College where he received a degree in Nursing. He worked in Nursing until the time of his death. Andy grew up in Olive Baptist Church, where he became a Christian. He was a dedicated son, brother, uncle, and friend.

Andy epitomized selflessness, dedicating his life to helping others without ever asking for or expecting thanks or recognition. He knew he did not have it all figured out and loved the journey of life. He was a great friend to all he held close and a better friend than most deserved. He did what he said he was going to do and knew this day would come, subsequently only loved / lived harder for it.

Andy is preceded in death by his father, Gene Irwin.

He is survived by his mother, Barbara Irwin; his sister, Christy Irwin Taylor and nephews, Collin Taylor and Jacob Eggart.

Visitation will be held 10:00am until the funeral service begins at 11:00am Friday, July 2, 2021, at Harper-Morris Memorial Chapel with Rev. Mike Mashburn officiating. Interment will follow at Bayview Memorial Park.

We cannot express enough gratitude to Andy's brothers at the Pensacola Fire Department for their help and love during this difficult time.
