Rochaad Ingram’s life was abruptly taken in Maxton on June 20, 2010. He would have celebrated his 17th birthday.
His former JROTC Instructor MSG Carl Pevia reflected on the LET I Cadet who he had the pleasure of teaching two years ago
“He was a polite young man who was always on time to class. I have no doubt that he would have made both a fine soldier and a productive member of society.”
As an organ donor, Ingram was able to both save and improve the quality of life for numerous individuals.
LifeShare of the Carolinas provided the family with a summary of the status of the beneficiaries of Rochaad’s organ donations. The letter was addressed to Rochaad’s father, Terrance Ingram, who resides in Durham.
“One kidney went to a 49-year old woman in North Carolina who enjoys spending time with her family. She is a married mother of two who is employed as a mortgage coordinator.
Rochaad’s other kidney and pancreas were transplanted into a 34-year old woman from South Carolina. She is single and works as a bank teller. She enjoys family, friends, traveling, ceramics, and reading.
His liver went to a 15-year old North Carolina teen who is an only child. He lives at home with his mom and enjoys playing cards.
Rochaad’s lungs were transplanted into a 17-year old male in Alabama. No additional information is available about his interests, but the transplant center did state that he was released from the transplant center and continues to recuperate at home.
His heart went to a 28-year old woman from North Carolina who works at an ice-skating rink and takes classes at a community college. Her family gave the following message to her transplant center to pass on to Rochaad’s family. “I am so appreciative and would love to tell them in person. I think of them everyday and the incredible gift they have given my loved one. I pray for them everyday.”
Both of Rochaad’s corneas were able to be used. A 16-year old female and a 70-year old female, both from South Carolina, received the gift of sight.
Rochaad’s family also consented to tissue donation. The transplant center, Life Share of the Carolinas, was able to recover musculoskeletal tissue and numerous lives will be enhanced as a result.”
