KNOX — William Isaac Ingraham, 67, of Knox, Maine was born to Amy and Richard Ingraham on January 6, 1959, in Waterville, Maine. He passed away unexpectedly on February 24, 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;

He is survived by his mother, Amy Ingraham; children, Shannon (Kal) Keithan and Daimen Ingraham; grandchildren, Jazlyn (Tom) McCann, Kamara Keithan, Landon Keithan, and Levi Ingraham; great grandchildren Payton and 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.
