David Armstrong's Obituary
David Lee Armstrong, 64, of Broken Arrow, OK, passed away on June 15, 2021, after a valiant battle with COVID-19.
David was born on March 4, 1957, in Monmouth, Illinois. After graduating from Warren High school in 1975, he went on to join the U.S. Army serving at Ft. Dix, New Jersey. After his time in the Army, David returned to Illinois. He later lived in Georgia before making Oklahoma his home. In his retirement years, David returned to school, earning both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Theology becoming an ordained minister.
David put family first, always, and was a dedicated husband to Linda and father to Jason, Christina, and Dylan. His family meant more to him than anything else in the world, something he often mentioned. He was unendingly proud of his family and always tried his best to support them.
David was a passionate basketball fan cheering for his beloved Oklahoma City Thunder. He also could often be found sharing his Christian faith at local nursing homes and volunteering with the Broken Arrow school district when he wasn’t at home. David was a member of the Carbondale Assembly of God Church.
Anyone who knew David knew that he was the most loving husband, father, and grandfather a family could ask for. David was predeceased by his father, Frank Armstrong. He is survived by his wife Linda Armstrong (Estes) of Broken Arrow, OK; his mother Elsie Rice (Meredith) of Albany, GA; his sisters Carol (Chauncey) Elliott of Broken Arrow, OK; Starr (Jerry) Benton of Albany, GA; and Robin Armstrong of Albany, GA; his brother Jack (Laura) Armstrong of Monmouth, IL; his half-brothers Rodney Strahlman and Robert Strahlman; his children, Jason (Toni) Armstrong of Leesburg, GA; Christina (Donnie) Tucker of Sylvester, GA, and Dylan Armstrong of Broken Arrow, OK; his grandchildren Brooke Williams (Armstrong) and Kristian Hall; many beloved nieces and nephews, and one special friend Kathy Easter.
