A native of Maury County, Tennessee, he was the son of the late Sam T. Ingram and the late Gladys "Brown" Ingram. He attended school in Culleoka, Tennessee. He was self employed as a skilled carpenter. He was a member of Highland Park Baptist Church. He was a gifted musician and was well known and loved by his fans. Playing music with his children and friends brought him the greatest joy in life. His kind and generous heart caused many to love and admire him. He would reach out to strangers as well as family and friends with his giving spirit and listening ear. His kind smile and ready anecdotes will truly be missed by all who knew and loved him. Heaven is a little brighter today as he sings with the angels.
