Timothy Patrick Irvin

September 29, 1949 - July 9, 2026

Our family is saddened to share the death of Timothy Patrick Irvin. A true larger-than-life personality who was deeply loved and will be immensely missed by fans, friends, and family. Timothy Patrick, known to many as “Stinky,” was born in Bloomington, Illinois, on September 29th, 1946, with red hair and golden eyelashes. He liked to say he came from Bloomington and that's “about as close to Normal as you can get”. In 1976, he moved out west with his family, and of course, his band, Timothy P. and the Rural Route Three. In the foothills of Colorado, he built a rich and full life of performing and recording music, while he surrounded himself with family, friends, and good times.
