“Today we remember and honor Douglas Leo Irwin,” the post read. “Doug was a master craftsman, a visionary, and someone who dedicated his life to his work. His guitars were never just instruments, they were built with intention, precision, and soul, becoming part of the music and the artists who played them.
“To his family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him, Doug was more than his work,” the statement continued. “He was a presence, a character, and someone whose impact reached far beyond words.
