Louie Zirbel, 62

Louie Zirbel 62 years old passed away in Panama City, Fla. April 24, 2022. He was born to Jerry and Phyllis Zirbel on Dec. 31, 1959. Since being born on New Year's Eve we think that’s why he always loved a good party!

Louie graduated from Hamilton High school in 1978 and attended the University of Montana. He was preceded in death by his parents, Jerry and Phyllis Zirbel and several extra special people in his life. He leaves behind the love of his life of 38 years, Eva Zirbel, two sons Joe (wife, Cecilia) San Diego, Calif., Dale (wife, Kim) Spirit Lake, Idaho, and adopted daughter Deana Owens Hamilton, Mont., eight grandsons, siblings Mike, Chuck, Fritz, Chris, Sue, Pat and J. Numerous nieces, nephews and other relatives and so many wonderful close friends that he always considered family.

Louie was an extremely generous man, whether it was giving money, vehicles, clothing or his time he was always first in line to help anyone in need. He always said as his repayment would be a place in Heaven. We are positive that he’s there with that incredible smile on his face.

A celebration of life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 2, 2022 at the Riverview Cemetery in Hamilton, Mont.
