Payton Scott Montague

Payton Scott Montague, 70, of St. Petersburg, Florida, passed away unexpectedly on August 1, 2026.

Born on May 8, 1956, in Newport, North Carolina, Payton lived a life marked by faith, compassion, humor, and an unwavering desire to help others. He was passionate about learning and followed his calling with determination throughout every season of his life.

Payton attended Florida State University, where he studied Musical Theatre, before earning a Master of Science in Mental Health and Marriage & Family Counseling from Stetson University. He spent 32 years with 3M Unitek before answering a deeper calling to become a mental health therapist. As a counselor through Lutheran Counseling Services in St. Petersburg, he devoted himself to walking alongside others with empathy, wisdom, and genuine care. He believed every person deserved to be heard, valued, and given hope.

His faith was the foundation of his life. A devoted member of Our Savior Lutheran Church in St. Petersburg, Payton loved the Lord and sought to reflect Christ’s love in the way he cared for those around him.

Outside of work, Payton was happiest surrounded by family. He loved being out on the water as captain of the family’s beloved “Mental Floss” boats, playing guitar, reading, enjoying a good movie or cigar, and, perhaps most famously, telling dad jokes that never failed to make everyone laugh-whether they wanted to or not. His quick wit, infectious sense of humor, and gift for entertaining brought joy to countless people.

Those who knew Payton will remember him as passionate, empathetic, and genuinely funny. He had a rare ability to make people feel seen, safe, and deeply loved. His hugs became legendary among those closest to him-a place of comfort, reassurance, and unconditional love. They are a gift his family will treasure forever.

Payton was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Kathryn Montague; his brother Samuel Montague; and the many loved ones who welcomed him into eternity.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Pam Montague; his daughters, Lindsay Renninger and Vanessa (Mark) Watson; and his cherished grandchildren, Nathan Rennigner, Jacob Renninger, Eden Watson, Jace Watson, and Chance Watson, all of whom brought immeasurable joy to his life.

Although Payton was unable to fulfill his wish of donating after his passing, his family finds comfort in knowing that his legacy of generosity will continue through memorial gifts supporting mental health in our community. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in his memory to Lutheran Counseling Services. Through these gifts, his family hopes to continue his lifelong mission of caring for others.

“Well done, good and faithful servant.” – Matthew 25:23

Salvatore Ingrande

Ingrande, Salvatore (Sal) Joseph, 70, of St. Petersburg passed away unexpectedly on June 29. Born in 1956, in San Diego, California to Eileen Marie and Leonard Joseph Ingrande, he moved to the East Coast as a young boy and graduated from Dartmouth High School in Dartmouth, Massachusetts. He followed his family's generational legacy as a commercial fisherman, earning his captain's license while honing his talents as a carpenter and craftsman. He was as likely to be seen mending nets by hand as he was negotiating with international seafood buyers. In his downtime, from childhood, he was always on the golf course; first as a hardworking caddy, then as a dedicated amateur golfer who could be found (and heard) over the years at Mangrove Bay Golf Course and the Vinoy Golf Club. In the mid 1970s, he moved with his family to St. Pete, Florida, where he met his wife Karyn. They were married in 1979 and started their family in 1980. The Ingrandes moved to the close-knit waterfront neighborhood of Tanglewood in 1988, blessing their children and grandchildren with endless opportunities to make mischief in and on the water.

As the captain of the F/V Eileen Marie and a member of the Diane Marie Fishing leadership team, Sal was a cornerstone of the Atlantic commercial tuna fishing industry. An entrepreneur like his father, he remained heavily involved in the seafood industry in the Northeast for decades after retiring from fishing.

Sal was an extroverted family man with deep-rooted loyalty to his entire extended family, from his beloved godparents Sal and Lucille Freitas in San Diego to his siblings and their children and grandchildren. He loved food, relished eating frog legs and chicken feet, could not say no to candy or ice cream, and made a mean root beer float.

Despite all the time he spent at sea, or perhaps because of it, Sal rarely boated for fun. But he had no shortage of passions. Among too many hobbies to count, he loved collecting things, cooking for his family, golfing with his friends at the Vinoy, watching football and going on adventures with his wife, napping on the couch, and perhaps above all — making people laugh (at any cost). Sal became a grandfather at 50 and enjoyed many milestones and holidays with his grandsons over the years.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Eileen and Leonard Ingrande, and his elder sibling Salvatore Joseph. Sal is survived by his beloved wife Karyn Ingrande; children Maria Ingrande Mora, Nicholas (Katy) Ingrande, and Andrea (Tim) Ingrande; grandchildren Simon and Maxwell Mora and Everett Ingrande; siblings Chris (Dawn) Ingrande and Diane (Sam) Maiolo, and his adoring nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles.

Sal's family will hold a private celebration of his life, but encourages you to do something you love in his honor. Better yet, be a smartass while you're doing it.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to First Tee St. Petersburg: firstteestpetersburg.org.
