Scott Alan Ingalsbe, 64
Scott Alan Ingalsbe, 64, passed away at his home in Reeds Spring, Missouri on
Sunday August 16, 2026, after a courageous two-and-a-half year battle with metastatic
kidney cancer. He was born in Independence, Missouri on October 25, 1961; son of
Wayne and Lucile Ingalsbe.
Scott entered service in the US Navy on November 6, 1981 where he spent time
in the Military Police and earned the rank of FC3 as a Search Radar Technician. His
unit spent time on the USS John King and was awarded the Navy ‘E’ ribbon and he
earned a Battle Efficiency Ribbon for winning a battle efficiency competition. He was
honorably discharged on February 10, 1988.
Scott, a true jack-of-all trades, was always working on something. He was a
skilled mechanic, carpenter, and plumber. He could do just about anything and spent
most of his career self-employed as Scott’s Services doing everything from building and
remodeling homes to landscaping. Most recently he worked at R&H Plumbing - the only
time he wasn’t working for himself - from 2015 until his medical retirement.
Scott’s pride and joy was his 1975 Harley Sportster. Riding was his favorite way
to spend time and he rode it every chance he got. He entered it in bike shows and was
very proud when he won first place more than once. He was a member of Freedom of
the Road Riders, occasionally went on rides with the Christian Motorcycle Association,
and especially enjoyed riding with his best friend Mark Hagood.
On New Years Eve, 2010, he met his wife Lisa. They were blessed to have each
other for over fifteen years. Scott and Lisa had a vintage camper that they loved to go
camping in, and a special camping spot at Roaring River was their favorite getaway.
Scott loved trout fishing and cooking his catch at the campsite.
Scott had three granddaughters, Nikki, Kaylee, and Nova. He looked forward to
Nova’s visits and took her on adventures to the river and rides on his motorcycle. He had
not seen Nikki and Kaylee in years but missed them very much and spoke of them
often.
Scott is survived by his wife, Lisa, of Reeds Spring MO; his son Wayne (Cristy)
and granddaughters Nikki and Kaylee of Lampe, MO, stepdaughter Ashley (Adam)
Easom and granddaughter Nova Han of Pittsburg, KS, stepdaughter Heather (Joseph)
Meyer of Dillon, MT, his bonus son Crispin Lansangan of Kansas City, MO, and his
mother Lucile of FL, and his siblings James Ingalsbe and Kim Ingalsbe.
