Max Macgyver Ingram, 86, passed away peacefully at home on December 31, 2025. He was born on October 9, 1939, in Lilesville, NC, to the late Sylvester and Eria Ingram. Max was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Josephine; his brothers Javester, Charles Ingram, and Ernest Wall.

As a young man, Max moved to High Point, NC, where he met the love of his life, Josephine Belton Ingram. Their 63‑year marriage became the foundation of a family rooted in love, faith, and togetherness.

Max was employed at Drexel Heritage Furniture in High Point, NC, for 47 years before retiring—a testament to his work ethic, loyalty, and steady presence. He was a faithful and proud member of Temple Memorial Baptist Church (TMBC), where he served as Chairman of the Trustee Board, was a dedicated member of the TMBC Sunday School, and sang joyfully with the TMBC Voices of Temple Choir for many years.

Max was also deeply committed to fraternal and Masonic service. He served as Past Worshipful Master of Toussaint L’Ouverture Lodge #524 (PHA). He held membership in Hiram Chapter #56, Hiram of Tyre Council #1, and King Cyrus Commandry #5. He was Past Potentate of Abdallah Temple #189 (PHA), Past Worthy Patron of White Rose Chapter #157, Order of the Eastern Star (PHA), and a proud member of the Dedicated XII.

He is survived by his four children: Dr. Michael Anthony Ingram of Washington, DC,
Eva Marie Harris, JoAnn Williams, and Jeffery Ingram (Monica) of High Point, NC; seven grandchildren: Donte Ingram, Jasmine Williams, Jacquarius Ingram, Kyla Ingram, Gianni Dockery, Jaela Ingram, and Jaylen Williams, and one great‑granddaughter, Serenity Jianna Ingram; his brother, Reginald (Enice) Ingram, and his sisters, Marva (James) Colbert and Pertenar Ingram, all of High Point, NC. Max was blessed not only with a devoted family but also with friends and supporters who cared for him with kindness and compassion. The family extends heartfelt gratitude to his long‑term caregivers, Andy and Linda Graham, for their devoted care and support.

Max now reunites with his beloved wife, Josephine, in eternal rest.
