It is with deep sadness and love that we announce the passing of Matthew Curtis Ingram, age 33, who left this world far too soon on 05/23/2025 in West End, NC.
Matthew was a vibrant soul whose talents and passions touched the lives of everyone lucky enough to know him. To know him was to love him! Born in Pinehurst, NC to Kathy Gail Blake and Anthony Curtis Ingram. He grew up with a deep love for the outdoors and an adventurous spirit that NEVER faded.
Matthew found peace where the water met the sky, with a rod in his hand, he was never happier than when he was near the water. If you could not find him on a river bank, he was perfecting his golf game in efforts to beat his “Unc” (George Jr) in a round of golf. Matthew’s tackle box may now be closed, but his memory will live on in every cast line and every still morning on the lake.
Matthew’s life was filled with music from a very young age, and his soul spoke through the strings of a guitar; it was clear he was born to play. He was a gifted multi-instrumentalist, ranging from the piano, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, mandolin, banjo and pretty much any other instrument that was put in his hand. Matthew had a natural ear for music, his guitar told stories that words never could. Although his hands are still now, the music he gave us lives on, loud and full of life.
Matthew is preceded in death by his grandfather Earl Wayne Poe “Papa Wayne,” his great grandmother Edith Swaringen Poe “Granny,” and his uncle, George Ingram Jr. “Unc” [Sherrie Ingram]; and is survived by his parents, Anthony Ingram, Kathy Blake; daughter, Mattilyn Claire Ingram [Candace Ferguson], sisters Kayla Gail Womble, Carrie Nicole Ingram, Mandie Ingram Scott [Matthew Scott], Mistie Ingram Andrews [Waylon Andrews]; grandparents George & Betty Ingram, aunts, Tammy Ingram Thomas [Mike Thomas], Amy Ingram Garrison [Casey Garrison]; Amy Lee Poe, uncle, Travis Poe. He leaves behind a host of cousins, nieces, and nephews.
He has left an imprint on all our lives that will never be forgotten.
