Jeffrey Dean Ingram, the son of John and Karen (Keiffer) Ingram, was born on August 25, 1964, in Fairfax, Missouri. Jeff attended Mound City High School, Mound City, Missouri, graduating in 1982. He attended Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Missouri, earning a Bachelor of Science in Ag Business. He worked most of his life at Northwest Fertilizer, a business he and his family started.
Jeff and Marcy were blessed with their first born, Tanner Ray, on March 26, 1990, and again four years later with their daughter, Tori Beth, born April 29, 1994. Jeff’s children meant everything to him, and he loved talking about them to everyone he met.
Jeff enjoyed growing up close to all his cousins where they spent many weekends on the Missouri River, camping with their Nan and Pa, or traveling to Colorado to ski. Traveling with his own family was something he loved to do often, whether it was to Florida, Mexico, Canada, or back to Maryville to cheer on his alma mater, the Northwest Bearcats. He always found joy in supporting his children, niece, and nephew in all their school activities; however, he made sure to remind them he was a 2x State Pole Vault Champion holding the school record for over 20 years. Jeff was also a proud member of the Ioway Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska.
Jeff passed away at his home in Mound City, Missouri on Thursday, February 26, 2026, surrounded by his family and dearest friends at the age of 61.
