Jackson Jambalaya

Another bizarre event in a twisted tragedy.

Those poor kids! They don't deserve all that life has thrown at them!

Prayers go out to the Irby family. Very very sad. No matter what he did, right or wrong, he's gone now. The pieces are left for his children and family to pick up. God, be with all of them during this difficult time.

For some reason, this doesn't surprise me in the least. All the money and advantages in the World and what becomes of him? He's certainly no victim here but those two dead doctors and his children are! The whole thing is a tragedy and a sad reminder that all the money in the World can't buy you the happiness and contentment you seek. If it could, there would be three people who are now dead, still alive!

So sad for so many different reasons, for so many different people.

Were he and Karen still legally married???

Depression is very common in post traumatic brain injury as well as stroke.

Irwin, so true. Money can't buy health or happiness. If you don't believe this just look at this man's life.

I really feel for his grown children, his son, and his brothers.

Tragic, tragic, tragic. God be with this man's children. As if they haven't been through enough.

If I were his family, I would do a private funeral for the family only. I wouldn't want all the bloggers who have made the choice to criticize him over the last several years to show up at his funeral.

As for the criticism, he brought it on himself. It's over now.

he had so much money he was deemed respectible enough regardless of his actions and conduct pre and post accident. I suspect there will be a very nice service for him at First Presbyterian in Jackson.

He has not been at first pres in a long time. Was at highlands.

Kingfish, are you an atheist? Why would you refuse to post my last comment unless you were? Perhaps you are overly politically correct? However, after reading your blog for a while, I somehow can't see that being the case, so, what gives?

Cuz that shit matters right 9:32

10:23--so right you are.

Studies reveal that buzzards begin to circle within 46 minutes of death.

It's illegal to kill a buzzard in Mississippi, but we can still gather here and watch them.

You all are Southern, if you can't say something nice , just don't say anything. He is dead and yes others are also. Pray for his soul to be at peace finally and pray for his children to find some understanding in all this and especially this his young son will have as normal of life as possible since having gone through so much of this. I hope all can try and find tolerance and kindness toward all involved in the tragedies of the last few years. Let's look for peace and forgiveness. God Bless all of them!

Mr. Irby shouldn't be remembered for causing the fatal crash for it was never proven and remains a brutal accusation. Instead, Mr. Irby's legacy should be that as a generous man who gave to many causes. It was his philanthropic nature to help others. How sad that the tragic accident found him out of touch and perhaps overwhelmed with grief for Dr. Dedousis and Dr. Pogue and for what the horrific accident did to the respected Irby name. Surely he regretted the day Karen entered his life except for one important reason in that it produced the beautiful blessing of a baby boy. May his soul rest in Peace.
