Comment: I can't see the Kitsap Sun article because of a paywall, but I doubt he is notable from the information given. The article URL indicates it is likely about the company, not the founder of the company.
In fact, all I know about Irick Jr. from the article is his birth date and where he lives. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 21:54, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

John Irick was born on May 20th, 1967. He was born in Massachusetts and then moved to Texas when he was 8 months old. He eventually moved to Seattle. In Seattle, he founded his company, Five Forces. Five Forces is a natural disaster response company. Their main product is the Airwing. The Airwing is based on the Silver Maple Seed.
