Michael Ingraham Obituary

Loving father and friend to many, Michael (Mike) Anthony Ingraham, 43, passed away at his home in Colorado Springs, CO, on December 6, 2012. Originally from the East Bay area of San Francisco, CA, he had resided in Colorado since 2007. Mike was preceded in death by his father, Ross Ingraham, and is survived by his sons Ethan Ingraham, 21, of Buffalo Grove, Illinois, and Jacob, 11, and Lucas, 9, Ingraham of Aurora, CO; and his mother, Patricia Ingraham of Tracy, CA. Mike is also survived by ex-wife, Jennifer of Aurora, CO, with whom he spent many years raising their sons together, and ex-wife Desiree of Buffalo Grove, IL. He leaves behind his sister Kelly Casavan (Robert) of Manteca, CA, children Robert Jr., Michael, and Madison; sister Shannon Smith (Scott) of Colorado Springs, CO, children Ryan and Meghan; and brother Matthew of Benicia, CA, and daughter Amy. Mike was born in San Mateo, CA, and graduated from San Ramon High School, and California State University, Hayward. He spent 12 years as a senior sales representative for Oliver Allen, and remained in senior-level positions at GE Healthcare, Merrimak Capital, and Kingsbridge Healthcare Finance. Mike's greatest love was the time he spent with his three boys. He had an epic sense-of-humor that will be truly missed by his family and friends. He never missed a poker game, was an expert at quoting comedies, loved watching football and playing in fantasy leagues, loved the SF 49ers and Giants, riding his Harley, golfing, and everything involved making people laugh. A memorial service to remember Mike will be held Friday, December 14, 2012 at St. Joan of Arc Church, 2601 San Ramon Valley Blvd., San Ramon, CA, 94583. Please call (925) 830-0600 for more information.
