Mark Steven Armstrong, age 57, of Dayton, Ohio, passed away on February 7, 2026.

Mark will be remembered for the joy he found in life’s simple blessings. He loved listening to music, cutting hair, cooking meals for those he cared about, fishing, and spending time with his grandchildren, who brought him his greatest happiness. He was also a passionate Philadelphia Eagles fan and never missed the chance to cheer on his team.
He was preceded in death by his father, John Armstrong; his brother, Michael Armstrong; and his grandmother, Louise Kohlbeck.

He is also survived by his sister, Robin Spears; his nephew, Sterling Spears; and his dedicated friends, Anthony Windsor and Alfonzo Johnson. Mark also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who will continue to carry his memory with love.
