Scott A. Irby

SANDUSKY — Scott A. Irby, Sandusky, heard his call and peaceably transitioned from this life here on earth to his heavenly home, to meet his savior on March, 17, 2021, while on the road as a truck driver. Scott was born to the union of David Lee and Victoria (Tye) Irby Sr. on August 22, 1974, in Sandusky, Ohio.
