The family wrote, “Sonny was a gentle person who would help anybody in need. He loved his family and friends. He was always excited to see or talk to his niece, Dawn Marie, and always enjoyed hanging out with family. He was the type of person who would give you his last dollar, or even just a hug if you needed it. He was always happy and made everyone around him have a good time and laugh.”

Surviving are brother, Nick Ingra Jr. of Wasilla; niece, Dawn M. Gonzales of Palmer; niece, MaryAnn Clark of Selawik; and many more aunts, uncles and cousins.

Preceding him in death were his parents, Nick Sr. and Gladys Inga.
