Jesse Parks Ingold

Jesse Parks Ingold of Asheboro died March 10, 2026, holding the hands of loved ones. He was 89.

Born August 12, 1936, in Randolph County, North Carolina, Jesse was the youngest of six children to Oakwell Ingold and Eva Mae Ingold.

Jesse lived a life devoted to his family. He was a loving husband, a caring father, and a proud “Number One Paw.” He retired from Energizer Battery in 1994 after serving in the Army and he was a member of Cross Road Baptist Church.

He was a spirited fisherman, a mechanic extraordinaire, and an all-time wheeler and dealer. His heart was full of compassion. There are many accounts of him stopping at car accidents, providing medical care or simply holding hands with the victims. He was always there for people in need and had a heart for ones not always noticed. Those who knew him will remember his stories and the telltale twinkle in his eyes.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Linda Saunders Ingold; his daughters, Holli Lanier and Sandi Brown; his brothers, Russell Ingold, Leonard Ingold, and Jimmy Ingold; and his sister, Martha Peele.

Those left to cherish his memory include his daughter, Sherri Floyd; his sons-in-law, Marty Floyd, Richard Brown, and Bruce Lanier; his grandchildren, Wesley Floyd, Stewart Floyd, Allison Cain, Tyler Brown, Andrew Brown, and Maggi Floyd; and his great-grandchildren, Josie Floyd, Holleigh Floyd, Jesse Floyd, and Amelia Floyd; and his sister, Donsy Hames.

His family will celebrate his life with a graveside service at Oaklawn Cemetery in Asheboro at 2:00 pm on Saturday, March 14.

In lieu of flowers, kindly consider donating to Cross Road Baptist Church.

He fought the good fight and he finished the race.

Well done, good and faithful servant.

We love you the mostest.
