William (Bill) Jay Ihrig passed away March 14, 2023, at the age of 63 from heart failure in The Dalles, Oregon. He was first born child of Howard William (Bill) Ihrig and Donna Rae Hutchins on May 6, 1959, in Goldendale, Washington, followed by brother Ronald Scott Ihrig born in 1960, followed by another brother in 1965, Darren Charles Hoffman. After his father remarried, Bill gained three more siblings: Lon, Wendi and Mark Ihrig. His mother passed away in 1996 and his father passed away in 2020.

Bill started his working career while attending Goldendale High School where he graduated in 1978. He worked both at DeHart's Goldendale Market, Hill Top Market and Westgate Market in The Dalles, OR.
On January 22, 1984, Bill married Rebecca Ann Woodford in Goldendale, Washington. Coming into this union he was blessed with a daughter, Jessica Ann Woodford, whom he raised as his own. Later in 1987 Adam Willam Ihrig was born and joined his sister Jessica. Adam and Stacey’s son Asa was an absolute delight in Bill’s life. Asa was Bill’s only grandchild.
Bill was known as a dependable hard worker always providing for his family. He told silly jokes with an infectious smile that made everyone laugh. Bill’s light shined bright, and he was fun to be around. He enjoyed being with his friends and family (and extended family) fishing, swimming and many other outdoor activities. The loss of his life left a large void in many hearts; but warm memories of his loving spirit live on in those same hearts.
He is survived by his children: Adam (Stacey) and Jessica (Greg); grandson Asa; siblings: Ron (Liz) Ihrig, Darren (Angela) Hoffman, Lon Ihrig, Wendi Ihrig, and Mark (Izzy) Ihrig and stepmother, Sandra Ihrig. Bill had many cousins, aunts and uncles who survived him that he was very close to.
