WIMBERLEY, Texas — The Wimberley community is mourning the loss of Carson Jack Ingram, affectionately known as “Car Jack,” who passed away on July 9, 2026, at just 18 years old. His passing has left family members, friends, and others who knew him remembering a young man whose humor, work ethic, adventurous spirit, and love for others made a lasting impression.
According to his obituary published by Thomason Funeral Home, Carson was born on April 3, 2008, in Austin, Texas, and spent his life rooted in Hays County. Although his years were few, his family described a life filled with meaningful relationships, memorable adventures, and a personality that brought joy to those around him.
A Beloved Son and Brother
Carson was the cherished son of Katharina “Kathy” Ingram and Michael “Mike” Ingram. He was also a treasured brother to Robert “Bobby” Ingram, Braiden Tanzola, and Chayse Ingram.
Those who knew Carson remembered his friendly nature, quick wit, and ability to make people feel welcome. He was outgoing and energetic, with a sense of humor that could brighten an ordinary day. Friends reportedly knew him as someone who rarely met a stranger and maintained friendships throughout Wimberley and beyond.
A Young Man With Ambition
Carson completed his homeschooling in May 2025 and was pursuing certification in electrical lineworker studies at Texas State Technical College in Waco. His chosen field reflected his willingness to work hard and develop practical skills for his future.
He had also worked at Devoted Landscaping in Wimberley since he was 16. His commitment to his job demonstrated responsibility and determination at an age when many young people are only beginning to consider their career paths.
A Passion for the Outdoors
Fishing was among Carson’s greatest passions. Whether spending time at rivers, lakes, or the ocean, he enjoyed being outdoors and making memories through adventure. He also loved baseball and basketball, bringing enthusiasm and competitive energy to the activities he enjoyed.
Carson treasured his 1997 Ford F250 Diesel, a family truck passed down from his grandfather to his father and eventually to him. His beloved dog, Jackson, often accompanied him on rides, reflecting the special place animals held in his life.
A Community Remembers
Carson’s death has left a painful absence for those who loved him. While the headline references an accident, the obituary should remain the primary source for confirmed details about his passing. Specific circumstances and an official cause of death should not be assumed without confirmation from authorities or his family.
Carson is remembered for his devotion to family, willingness to work, love of adventure, and ability to bring laughter into everyday moments. His life, though tragically short, continues to be celebrated through the memories shared by those who knew him.
His family, friends, and the wider Wimberley community will continue to carry his memory forward with love and affection.
