It is with profound sadness and deep love that we announce the passing of Herbert R.
Irmen, who departed this life on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at the age of 95.
Bob was a devoted husband, loving father, cherished grandfather, and loyal friend as
well as serving his country as a paratrooper in the 82 nd Airborne of the US Army. He
lived a life marked by love, kindness, integrity, honorable service, and an unwavering
devotion to the LORD. Those who knew him will remember his warm smile, generous
spirit, sense of humor, and his enjoyment in his “later in life” interest in painting but most
of all the wisdom he gained from his faith in God that he shared so freely with others.
Born on March 12, 1931, in Bard, California, Bob was the beloved son of Jeanette Ruiz
Irmen and Paul R. Irmen. Throughout his life, he took great pride in caring for those he
loved and building a legacy of faith in Jesus Christ, compassion, strength, and
perseverance.
Bob treasured his family and his friends. He was a constant source of encouragement,
guidance, and unconditional love. Whether offering advice, sharing stories, or simply
being present when needed, he made those around him feel valued and supported. His
children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will forever carry with them the lessons
he taught, the memories he created, and the love he gave so abundantly.
He is survived by his children Cheryl Ann Grantham and her husband David, William
(Bill) L. Irmen and his wife Debbie, Robert L. Irmen and his wife Mary Jo, and daughter-
in-law, Kitty Irmen; Grandchildren, Jacob D. Grantham and his wife Laura, Patrick
Irmen, Peyton Irmen and his fiancée Hannah, Spencer Begnaud and his wife Alyse,
Shawnee De Anda and her husband Paco, Katrina Bosley and her husband Joel, Mark
Hanley and his wife Anna, Michael Hanley and wife Tabitha, Rachel Irmen, Mitchell
Irmen, Jonah Irmen and his wife Zoe; sisters Linda Carpenter, Shirley Figueroa,
Margaret Cates, Jeannie Milton and Donna Grins as well as 20 great grandchildren and
3 great-great grandchildren along with many other relatives and friends who were
blessed to know him. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Sarah Myrtis
Irmen, his son, David J. Irmen and his granddaughter, Jessica D. Grantham.
Though our hearts are heavy with loss, we take comfort in the countless memories we
shared and the lasting impact he made on all who knew him. His faith, love, strength,
and example will continue to guide us for generations to come.
