He was born in North Adams, MA on April 23, 1938 to Eugene and (Vera) Christine Mullette.  Out of high school, he went to East Coast Aero Tech Flying School, following which he joined the Marine Corps.  He proudly remained involved in the Marine Corps League throughout his life and served as Chaplain of the Marine Corps League Oak Ridge Detachment.  Irving was a graduate of Northeastern Bible College, where he did street-preaching in Greenwich Village in the 1960’s.  Irving entered full time ministry in 1970, and was ordained in 1971.  He pastored three churches:  East Charlemont Bible Church 1970-1989, Rowe Community Church 1993-2024, and the Florida Baptist Church for a number of years.  Irving founded and was Head Master of the Charlemont Christian School from 1971-1988.  He was the chaplain of the Franklin County House of Correction in Greenfield for 50 years.  In addition to his full-time ministry work, he was a licensed contractor, building homes with his son Glenn, and producing numerous creative pieces he hand-crafted from wood.  Irving was dedicated to his Savior and spreading the gospel message.  He loved people and was most content when he was helping others.
