Edwin ("Eddie") L. Irizarry, Jr., 65, of Pennsauken, passed away on Saturday, February 13, 2021. He was born to Julie and the late Edwin L. Irizarry, Sr. in Camden, New Jersey. Since his teenage years, Eddie has been working on cars and was an expert mechanic. He enjoyed helping his family and friends fix their vehicles whenever they were in need. Since 1977, Eddie has devoted his time to his prize possession, his 1969 dune buggy. Throughout the years, he attended numerous car shows and won hundreds of trophies. The work, time, and love he shared for his dune buggy, “V”, has made it apart of the family. Eddie was a loving son, brother, uncle, great-uncle, and friend who will be deeply missed. Eddie is survived by: his mother, Julie Irizarry; sisters, Judith Irizarry-Cintron (Urbano), and Sandra Weingardt (Gary); nieces and nephew, Tamika (Jose), Ashly, and Jeremy (Rimi); great-nephews, Jaiden and Jorden; and pet companions, Bella and Kinko.
