Rick Ingram - GoFundMe

Thursday, May 14, 2020

I am at a loss for words, but it is with a heavy heart that I announce to the USA BASSIN Community that our long-time director, my friend and right-hand man, Rick Ingram, passed away this morning. Rick has been a core member of our staff since 2006 and is in some of my favorite memories. I can still
remember him coming to me at the 2006 Classic on Kentucky Lake asking me if he could become a
director. That was the start of the long friendship we have built together over the years. We have
traveled across the country together doing fishing tournaments, and he never once told me “No, I can’t
do that.” Instead, he would say “This is not my first rodeo!” Rick was always there when I needed
someone to bounce new ideas off of. Any time I needed him or if an angler needed him, he was there!
USA BASSIN will never be the same now that Rick is gone.

Rick did not have life insurance so the family has put together a GoFundMe Page to help cover his funeral expenses. If you would like to donate, you can visit the page here: Rick’s GoFundMe Page.

We will also be hosting the following events in his honor and all proceeds will be donated to the family.
