The above link goes to the USSVI (United States Submarine Veterans, Inc.) Facebook page where their members who have gone on “Eternal Patrol” are noted.

I’ll keep my work here going, trying to get others who were not USSVI members. You’re encouraged to look there as well as here! Obviously, there’ll be some I miss and some I duplicate.

IRWIN .. .. .. Kenneth Hammond Irwin, known affectionately as Ken, passed away at the age of 68 on August 21, 2024, in Kingwood, Texas. Born on September 25, 1955, Ken dedicated four years of his life to the United States Navy, serving from 1974 to 1978 aboard a nuclear submarine, an experience that marked a significant chapter in his life.

Ken was a loving and devoted husband, brother, and son, remembered for his kindness and dedication to his family. He is survived by his wife, Jan Seabaugh; his mother, Matilda Boots Galli; and his sister, Trudy Atkins.

Beyond his military service, Ken was passionate about golfing and cruising, hobbies that brought him great joy and relaxation. His love for these activities was well-known among his friends and family, who often joined him on the green or while cruising the open waters.

A service to honor Ken's life and legacy will be held at Houston National Cemetery, located at 10410 Veteran's Memorial Drive, Houston, TX 77038. The arrangements are being handled by Birdsong Cremations in Kingwood, TX.

Ken's life was marked by his service, both to his country and to those he loved. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
