(From Bixby Funeral Service)

Randy Eugene Armstrong was born September 29, 1956 in Coffeyville, KS to Larry and Jane Armstrong. He passed away peacefully on January 17, 2022 at his home in Broken Arrow, OK., after a courageous battle with cancer. 

Randy graduated from East Newton High School in Granby, MO in 1974, where he excelled in academics, football and basketball. He attended the University of Missouri at Rolla and spent his life as a CNC programmer and machinist, retiring in 2020. 

He married Becky Hildebrand on June 4, 1977 in Diamond, MO and they moved to the Tulsa area where they lived their life and raised their family.

In addition to his parents and wife, Becky, he is survived by his daughter, Mandy Armstrong (and friend, Alex Nystel) of Tulsa, OK and his son, Lance Armstrong (and wife, Lauren) of Fort Washington, Maryland. He also leaves behind young grandsons, Tiberius and Gideon who dearly loved their “Pops”.

Randy was an ardent (and sometimes obnoxious) Oklahoma fan, cheering on the Sooners in football and basketball. He was also a proud member of the Cherokee nation.
