Michael Joseph Iriart passed away on December 6, 2021, at the age of 45, in his hometown of Price, Utah.

He was born to Joe Iriart and Cathy Warren on April 29, 1976.

From the time Mike was old enough to freely roam, he was a well-known character in the area. He was proud to be a farmer; he loved the smell of the freshly plowed dirt and cut hay, and took pride in the work he did alongside his father on the family farm. He was also a talented diesel mechanic. Though he left Utah to pursue work ventures in places like Las Vegas, NV and New Jersey, he always returned to the only home he ever knew, the Iriart farm in Price, Utah. Mike came to enjoy the simpler side of life after returning to Price. He made a home for himself in a nook of the farm he lovingly referred to as “the hive,” due to the large bee hive that inhabited a nearby tree. He felt at peace in this little slice of his heaven.

Mike is survived by his father, Joe; mother, Cathy; sister, Brittany; his girlfriend, Beverly Dunn, and his many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins.

He is predeceased by his grandparents; aunt, Sue Peterson, and the many dogs of the Iriart farm, honorable mention given to Queenie and Ringo.
