all started on a piece of farm land in Magnolia, Texas
on January 29th, 1981. Jeff's parents James and Lola Ingram
were proud of their new son, but not as excited as the
little girl waiting at home. Jeff was raised with his
sister, Jennifer along with all his cousins, Nat, Nick,
Josh, Charlene, Dan, Sean, Ashley, Chelsea and Kaitlyn
to name a few. Jeff loved the outdoors and was a natural
athlete. In life, people say to "give a 110%". Some argue
that is not possible, 100% is the most. Those people probably
never met Jeff. He attended school at Magnolia High school
and set many records. |

passion and dedication made him excel in everything he
did. He was just as passionate about his parents, sister,
nephew, family and friends. Jeff's laugh and smile were
contagious and are still remembered by all that were blessed
to know him. Jeff will live on through his family and
friends and never die... for nothing loved is ever lost.
