Brian A. Ingalls, 18, of Londonderry, NH died Sunday May 23, 2010 at his home following a courageous battle with Juvenile Huntington's disease. Brian was born in Newburyport, MA on February 13, 1992, the son of Brenda R. (Lynch) Ingalls and Scott A. Ingalls. He had resided in Londonderry for the past 12 years, formerly living in Lynnfield, MA. Brian simply loved life and his wonderful sense of humor helped make everything around him pleasant and joyful. He never allowed his disease to beat him. It was because of people like Dr. Alyssa Lebel of the Children's Hospital in Boston that Brian was given the opportunity to live the life that he had. Brian was an avid reader and enjoyed many books, including Pokemon and Dragon Ball-Z series books. He had a great love of flowers and animals.
