Wayne was born on September 19, 1945, in Temple, Texas, to C.L. and Ada Martha (McCuistion) Ingram.
He spent his early years in Temple before making his home in Troy. On January 9, 1982, he married Gerardette "Geri" Ann (Voigt) Ingram in Temple, and they shared many cherished years together.

He was a beloved grandfather to Heather Kremers, Krystal Saverse, Kyndal Saverse, Cory Saverse, Jackson Ingram, Lee Steward, Shelby (Yepez) Grant, and Jacob Ornelas.
