Oliver Dean Irwin (Lebanon)'s Obituary
Oliver Dean Irwin, was born in Springfield Missouri on May 15, 2025 and gained his wings on July 2, 2025. He was only 6 weeks old. He passed away at St. Louis Children's Hospital. Oliver was diagnosed at the age of 3 weeks old with the same rare disease that his brother Jeremiah had which is Menkes Syndrome.
Oliver was very loved by many people, family and friends. Even by people who didn't see him. He survived by his father, Tyler Irwin and his mother Briana Miller; his older brother, Xavier Miller; his older sister, Lyla Tilden; his grandparents, Amber Speer, Shane Moore, James Ayers, and Krysten Ayers; his aunts and uncles, Summer Irwin, Trevor Speer, Alyson Hill, Bowdie Ayers, Kyra Grogan, Lainee Ayers, Journee Ayers, and many cousins.
He was preceded in death by his brother, Jeremiah and his great-grandpa Kenneth Young.
Even though Oliver wasn't on this earth very long he impacted so many people including his doctors and nurses. He taught them so much about this disease that they are publishing a story on both of the boys and them having this disease for other doctors around the world. He had the cutest smile ever. He was the sweetest baby ever. Oliver was very feisty. If he didn't like something he would tell you uh-uh. He loved his daddy so much. His daddy was the only one that could calm when he was upset. He loved to be held by people who loved him. We are blessed to have had the time that we got with him. Oliver came into the world into one set of loving arms and left this world into another set of loving arms watching over us.
