YORK - Cavan Ryan Irvine, 26, of York, PA passed away peacefully on October 5, 2020.

From a young age, Cavan was a very driven, goal oriented, intelligent, and determined young man. In his short 26 years, he accomplished so many things.

Cavan was a 2012 graduate of Northeastern High School where he graduated with honors. During those years, he was a referee of youth soccer starting at the age of 14. He worked his way up to being a referee of elite games and PIAA events. In 2012 he was named PA Youth Soccer referee of the year. Cavan was the 2012 State Driving Champion from which he received a college scholarship. He was an academic athlete. His sports passion was swimming where he held records in multiple events. Cavan was also active in student government and directed the marching band for two years.

Cavan went on to graduate from the Pennsylvania College of Technology earning the degree of Physician Assistant. Medicine was a passion for Cavan and after graduating in 2016, he was one of five applicants to be chosen to work at a 14-month surgical residency at the Duke University Medical Center. After completing his residency, Cavan worked at Hershey Medical Center in thoracic surgery, WellSpan Health, and most recently, UPMC Memorial Emergency Department.

In 2018, Cavan went on a medical mission trip to Haiti where he was thrilled to provide medical care to an underprivileged part of the world.
