It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Irvine “Irv” Muir on Thursday, May 15, 2025 at the age of 86. He is now reunited with his beloved wife Carol (2012). Loving father to Glenn, Ron (Kim) and Alan (Paula). Cherished papa to Brock (Rachel), Rebecca (Andrew), Mitchell (Ashley) and AJ. Special great grandfather to Aurora and Atlas. Survived by his sister Barb (Gary) and sister in law Margo. He will be missed by his extended family and friends. Predeceased by his brother Doug.
Irv received his funeral director license from the Canadian School of Embalming in Toronto in 1962 and started his career in Marmora, Ontario. He met his wife to be Carol and they were married in 1957. They were called back to Niagara in 1964 to help with the Lampman family business. In 1973, Irv and Carol took over both Lampman Funeral Home and Lampman Furniture Store, incorporating into Lampman-Muir Ltd, where the 114 year old business still runs strong today.
Irv and Carol were both active supporters in the community with donations and sponsorships of local churches, service clubs, schools and sports teams. Irv also showed off his prized car collection, (1917 Ford Model-T pick up truck, 1955 Thunderbird and more!), often touring his antique vehicles through local parades.
Irv received his 50 year Volunteer Firefighter service award from the Fenwick Firefighters Association in 2023 as well as his 50 year service award from the Fabulous Fenwick Lions Club in 2019. He was a long time member of Fenwick United Church where he was a Board Member and often an usher.
Irv was a hardcore fan of both the Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Blue Jays and you could often find a game on the TV in his room at Woodlands of Sunset. He loved his dogs Casey and especially Katie and spent many holidays at the family cottage on Lake Erie and later Horn Lake, where he pursued his passion of hunting and fishing.
The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff at Woodlands of Sunset for their compassionate and kind care of Irv.
All will be welcomed to visit Irv’s family on Tuesday, May 20th, 2025 from 4-6pm and 7-9pm at Lampman Funeral Home, 724 Canboro Rd, Fenwick, L0S 1C0. A private family service will take place. Memorial donations made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or Parkinson’s Foundation would be appreciated by the family. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Lampman Funeral Home.

My sincerest condolences to the entire family , I have fond memories of Irv while I was a fabulous Fenwick Lion years ago. May rest in eternal peace
My sincerest condolences to my cousins Alan, Glen, Ron & all the rest of the family. Irv will be truly missed. He was a warm & friendly guy with a big heart. Always desiring to help anyone in need. Enjoyed my vists with him at Horn Lake & in his home. He was a real people person. I think he could get along with almost anyone. May God comfort & strengthen you at this difficult time.
Sincere condolences to all the Muir family on the loss of Irv. A great fellow and part of the community that will be missed.
Dear Glenn, Alan, Mitchell, and family. I had the absolute privilege of getting to know Irv through my time working at Lampmans. He always had a smile on his face and a joke or story to tell. I remember him introducing me to his “girlfriend” his beautiful yellow lab. I am honoured to have been able to spend a brief time with him and I know he will always be proud of the whole family and the legacy that he and the Muir’s as a whole have left on our little town. Sending you all hugs. ❤️
Irv was always such a fixture at Lampman’s. I have been there many times for visitations and funerals and he was always at the door to greet you.
And if it was someone in your family, he always had a handshake, kind word or just his hand on your shoulder.
He will truly be missed but has left a wonderful legacy behind.
My sincerest condolences to Alan, Glen, Ron & all the rest of the family. Irv will be truly missed
