Marc Joseph Sotia Armstrong

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Marc Joseph Armstrong, 64, in the early morning hours of January 8, 2025. A resident of Pflugerville, Texas for over 20 years, he died peacefully at home surrounded by his family.

Although a native Californian, Marc spoke five languages and lived in many countries before making his forever home in Central Texas. He was a son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, and friend to many. His early years were spent in the military, but for most of his life he made his living as a carpenter, building houses, doing remodels, and making custom cabinets. His passions included reading, researching, cooking, and self-defense. At his core he was a teacher, always wanting to impart his wisdom to those who would listen, and always striving for excellence. He had a hugely generous heart and spirit of benevolence, and was a fantastic conversationalist.

Marc is survived by his wife of almost 30 years, Jamie Armstrong, who credits him for making her a true Texan; his children, Elad (Hani), Omri (Ofri), and Zoe; his grandchildren, Shay, Idan, and Amber; and his sister, Anne. His two German Shepherds, Duby and Koda, miss him terribly.

Marc was preceded in death by his father, Pennell, his mother, Tamara, and his mother-in-law, Nancy.

Marc was funny, kind, and always ready to help people whether he had just met them or had known them for years. He was a lovely man, and there are not enough words to do him justice. He will be very missed by everyone who knew him.

A memorial service will be planned for mid-March. Details forthcoming.

Thanks and praise go to God for helping the family through the tumultuous months leading up to Marc's death. He is and will be sorely missed in the earthly realm.
