William Ingraham Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Riposta Funeral Home - Belfast on Mar. 2, 2026.
William Isaac Ingraham, 67, of Knox Maine was born to Amy & Richard Ingraham on January 6th, 1959, in Waterville, Maine. He passed away unexpectedly on February 24th, 2026.

Willie was known by so many from near and far. You could always find him mowing lawns in the summer heat, with his tucked-in C.W. Lawn Care crewcut sweatshirt on, or at Hill Top Store buying a Dr Pepper, candy bar, and a bag of chips. He was known for keeping Gold Top Farm running, by jumping from a truck to a tractor, working in the shop, and even playing chauffeur at times. He was a man that could fix anything and would stop to help anyone in need. He took pride in keeping his boys in line and well taken care of. He was a dedicated town selectman and community advocate. There are not enough words to describe the kind hearted type of man that he was. He loved his home on the ridge and all of the projects he had going, including ones he hadn't started yet like his corvette. The emptiness the whole community feels is overwhelming. Willie always knew how to put a smile on someone's face, especially with that delicious homemade ice cream he always made and a good story. He will be forever missed by all who knew him.

Willie was predeceased by his wife Donna Jackson-Ingraham and his father Richard (Dickie) Ingraham

Survived by his mother Amy Ingraham. Children Shannon (Kal) Keithan & Daimen Ingraham. Grandchildren Jazlyn (Tom) McCann, Kamara Keithan, Landon Keithan, & Levi Ingraham. Great grandchildren Payton & Thomas McCann. Partner Cindy Larrabee. Siblings, Jane (Bill) Ring, Paula (Sam) Gibbs, David (Kelly) Ingraham, Patty (Scott) Crawford, Coyt Ingraham, and several nieces and nephews. Including his extended Ingraham and McKenney family, special farm family, friends, community members and his cat Clover.

In lieu of flowers please donate to the Willie Ingraham Memorial fund at Bangor Savings Bank to help the family with funeral & home maintenance costs. And a future memorial in honor of Willie Ingraham. You can send donations to 7 Belmont AVE Belfast, ME 04915.

Visiting hours will be at Riposta Funeral Home on Sunday March 8th, 2026 from 2pm - 4pm. The funeral will be held on Monday March 9th, 2026 at 1pm, located at the Knox Ridge Baptist Church. Memories and condolences may be shared with his family on his tribute wall.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
