John Irwin died, November 10, 2011

Jim Komar & John Irwin, June 6, 2011
We are sad to announce that John Irwin, spouse of Jim Komar, died November 10, 2011 in his sleep. John was being treated for throat cancer but, despite complications, seemed to be slowly improving. He was at home at the time of his death. Our sympathy to Jim.  Funeral arrangements are still being made and will be announced in the Star Phoenix soon. John will be cremated privately.  A memorial service will be held in the near future at St. George's Anglican Parish in Saskatoon.  Jim and John have been active supporters of LGBTQ rights through their participation in many activities and justice issues during their time in Saskatoon.

Jim Komar and John Irwin celebrated 48 years together and 5 years of marriage during Saskatoon's Pride Week Festival on June 6, 2011. (see posting earlier in this blog)


May John rest in peace.

I have only just this moment heard about the sad passing of John. I hope that Jim gets to read this so that he knows that I am sending my condolences.
