Obituary

Only Family members are invited to attend the services but everyone is invited to join the live webcast on the website listed below. _________________________________________ Tony Lee Ingle, 68, passed away from complications of Covid-19 on January 18, 2021 in Provo, Utah. He was born June 11, 1952 to Claude and Bobbie Ingle in Dalton, Georgia. Tony Ingle grew up in Dalton, Ga. After a knee injury ended his college basketball playing career, he set about chasing his championship dreams as a coach. He climbed the ladder in the coaching world from high school to college and had an amazing impact on many lives along the way. Some of his greatest achievements in basketball include being named 'National Coach of the Year' four times, winning a National Championship at Kennesaw State University (GA), a National Championship at Dalton State College (GA), multiple Conference and Region Championships and was the recipient of the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) "Award for Advocacy". Although he had much success in basketball, Tony Ingle is known to have said, "I didn't coach basketball, I coached people." He used basketball as a vehicle to teach his players and staff members life lessons. And Tony didn't just teach it, he lived it. With all the things Tony accomplished throughout his life, his greatest accomplishment is his wonderful family. Tony married Jeanne Whitworth Ingle on August 28, 1974 in Ringgold, GA. Jeanne introduced Tony to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, he was baptized in 1976. They were sealed for time and all eternity in the Washington DC Temple on October 11, 1980. Tony loved serving his heavenly father and following the teachings of Jesus Christ. Tony treated everyone like family. His quick witted humor and contagious personality made everyone feel comfortable and important. He always looked for the best in others and inspired them to be better people. Tony lived life to the fullest. His relentless work ethic and love for improving others has left a legacy that will last forever. Of all the quotes close to his heart, the one he used often to keep things in perspective is, "Life is short, serious and frail. Learn from it, laugh at it and live it well." Tony was preceded in death by his mother, father, sister: Donna Boyd; and grandson: Tige Zachery Ingle. He is survived by his wife: Jeanne Whitworth Ingle; his sons: Eliott Ingle, Golden (Kristi) Ingle, Tony (Sherri) Ingle Jr, Israel (Candice) Ingle; his daughter: Sunshine Ingle (Kyle) Tuckett; Grandchildren: Halle Ingle, Porter Ingle, Nixon Ingle, Isabelle Ingle, Ivy Ingle, Indie Ingle, Isla Ingle, Jaiden Tuckett, Treyce Tuckett, Bentley Tuckett: Great-Grandchild; Tyce Arnold: Siblings; Kay Wheeler, Shiela Ledbetter, Beverly Bowman, Inky Fritts.
