Born in Edmonton to Herbert and Florence (Lea) Ingram and growing up in Winnipeg, he was instilled with an infectious love of the outdoors which grew throughout his life. Don marveled at God’s creation and actively participated in it - swimming, hiking, biking and camping, and encouraged others to do the same. He was a wonderful listener, an encourager, and someone who loved to make connections. Don was a mentor and spiritual father to many; he encouraged the good wherever he went through friendships and community team building. Don’s work took him to Ottawa, Nunavut, St. John’s, Halifax and Eastern Passage. He also traveled internationally on mission and volunteer ventures. He had a vibrant faith in Jesus and was an active member of First Congregational Church of Halifax and the Meeting Place in Pugwash, and many prayer ministries. Don loved his ever extending family, embracing so many that crossed his path, everyone was welcome around the table. Don was predeceased by his parents and brother Lea.
