Ingram, of Egg Harbor Township, died March 19 after he was airlifted to the Temple Burn Center in Philadelphia.

The veteran was pronounced dead later that night.

Ingram, who reports said served in the Navy from 1985 to 1992, reportedly doused himself with gasoline before setting himself on fire outside the VA clinic, which was closed at the time.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks donations be made to Operation Smile, located at 2641 Faculty Blvd. in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
