Mack enjoyed many things from golfing, to fishing, going to car shows, & traveling, but he mostly enjoyed being with family and friends as much as possible. His granddaughters kept him young!! He was only “58” which was always his favorite line!

Everyone who knew Mack knows the world was a better place with him in it. He spread so much love and good will!
And how dearly he loved you, Shelby and your beautiful family!
Jim and Susie and Billy and I had an absolute blast buying boots from him in the old Western Market on 5! Lots of Laughs!
Love to you and all Mack’s friends who are feeling this loss.
We will miss you Mack Irwin! You were a long time customer, here at Hill Country Cleansers! God Bless and May you Rest in Peace!
Mack was a special friend of over 30 years. Through those years we spent many working together with including the last nine. We talked often sometimes about business, sometimes personal, and sometimes just Blain Ole B.S.. We never said goodbye just see you later, or see you bud. You were a hard worker and loved your job,your customers, and your friends and especially your family. You are a true friend and will be missed greatly. Love you brother, see you later.
enjoyed watching your granddaughters through photos from birth now one is a teenager and all the stories of there visits. Your trips to my Lake McQueeney parties and the Halloween Wedding. I miss you Mack and will see you when my time comes.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you.
Gonna miss you Mack. We had some great times over the last 35 years. We sold tens of thousands of boots and spent many hours balancing inventories for which I always teased ya. Countless golf outings and many lunches and dinners. I’ll never forget the old bus that was always hot so you had to bring the samples in anyway. A few weeks ago we were planning another golf outing. I’ll get with Jay and Rick and and we’ll get it done. Miss ya brother.
Best always , Wayne & Linda

Mari always made it a point to go see you, even if it was a quick hello. You will be deeply missed by many as you touched the hearts of anyone you met. I just can’t believe you are really no longer with us.
May God bless your family and especially those granddaughters of your because you always had to show us the latest pictures of them…..lol
See you again one day Mack.
Save me a pair of Dan Post Boots when I arrive……
I worked with Mack at Dan Post. He was such a gentleman. I enjoyed our many conversations. I respected him.
Mack was always warm, friendly, happy and made everyone feel like he was they were old friends or family.
He was a great guy and will be remembered fondly.
My thoughts and prayers are with Shelby and her family and Jamie.
For my friend Mack,
I met Macki, as I called him, when he joined the Justin Boot sales team but got to really know him when he left for a competitor. We often ran into each other on the road and always tried to have lunch or dinner together. We discovered shared values of Family, Friends and hard work. After my retirement we stayed in touch via phone and e-mail, but the highlight each year was going to the Barrett Jackson car auction in Scottsdale. It will never be the same without him.
RIP, Macki
Mack was one of my sales reps, always my favorite person to see. Shelby- thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. I love how he would glow every time he talked about you all. And he would always bring us homemade cookies for Christmas made by his granddaughters. He was so proud and always showed us pictures. I saw him at market a few weeks ago and he always wanted us to come at lunch and he would order food. He asked if I had a preference and I told him to get whatever he wanted. He ordered meatloaf and said that was his favorite, I’m glad I have that memory as our last meeting together. RIP Mack, see you in heaven <3
Goodbye for now , Mack. I loved being your friend & hope we see each other again down the line. Will miss running into you on the road & markets as well as our conversations about the nice people we worked with and the big vans we both travelled in when they weren’t in the shop.
