Derrick Ray Ingram

Derrick Ray Ingram, 47, of Collinsville, Virginia, entered his eternal rest with his Savior on Saturday, November 7, 2026. He was born on September 6, 1979, in Martinsville, Virginia, to the late James Ray Ingram and Bonnie Sue Montgomery Jamison.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his grandparents.

Derrick was a man of strong Christian faith who attended Woodland Heights Free Will Baptist Church in Martinsville, Virginia. With a heart of gold, he loved serving others in the community and helping anyone he could. His love for the Lord was evident in all he did, and he was passionate about sharing his faith with others, often leaving behind gospel tracts and a little bit of Jesus everywhere he went. He worked for Mallory Alexander Logistics since 2020.

Derrick enjoyed sports, especially his favorite college football team, “Rolltide.” He loved his beloved pets, including his dog, “Ari,” his pit bull, “Levi,” and his cat named “Tigger.” The last two years of his life were spent building a loving relationship with Ashley, whom he planned to marry soon. His friends and family will always remember the love, laughter, and the practical jokes that made his personality so inviting and warm. His legacy will live on in the lives of his loved ones.

He is survived by his fiancé, Ashley McKenzie and his two future daughters, Allison and Lindsey; stepmother, Nora Ingram; sisters, Maryalicia Johnson, Jessica Ingram (Richard); brothers, Scott Ingram, Brian Ingram (Alice), Derrik Riggs (Devon); nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, extended family, and friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, November 19, 2026, at 1:00 PM at Woodland Heights Free Will Baptist Church, 1995 Old Chatham Road, Martinsville, Virginia, with Pastor James Clifton officiating.
