William Ingram Obituary

William "Billy" was born on November 26, 1956, in Memphis, Tennessee, the son of former Memphis Mayor William Bond Ingram and Beverly McCall Ingram. A graduate of Central High School, Billy attended the University of TN in Knoxville; in 1977 he began a career with FedEx; transferring to Anchorage in 1998 as a manager, retiring in 2013. He warmed the hearts of those around him, encouraged enthusiasm, and made others feel worthwhile. His positivity was infectious; always willing to help others.
Billy was an avid outdoor enthusiast who loved life in Alaska and lived it to the fullest daily, whether in the mountains on his bike or trekking through the winter on snowshoes, he lived for out-door adventure. Billy was also an avid musician who had a passion for music and his beloved guitars.

William and I met at Fedex, and hung out together until I transferred to Phoenix. I was going through my stuff and found this "Key to the city of Memphis" that Billy gave me..I was looking him up on line and found out he has passed away. My sincer condolences to his family. He was a super guy, nice to everyone, and enjoyed life. I should have worked harder in staying in touch, my loss.

My brother Billy fought cancer for three years with dignity and courage and an amazing lack of fear. I learned the true meaning of bravery watching my brother in the last days of his life.
On the 28th of Sept. 2016 God called him home to be with our two brothers and our Dad, who had gone before him.
I miss Billy with all my heart but, I know he is safely in the arms of God with his loved ones and lives again in the peace of the Lord where there is no pain or worry. Only God's love.
Goodbye brother until we are together again.
Love to you, Steve
