Jonathan Emory Armstrong
May 17, 1984 – July 18, 2019

Jonathan Emory Armstrong passed away suddenly Thursday, July 18, 2019, at the age of 35. Jon was born on May 17, 1984 in Annapolis, Maryland. Jonathan loved his daughters, ice cream, fast cars, cookie dough, cream chipped beef, every mobster film ever made, fruit snacks, beautiful women, any clothes the color white, a good steak, Johnny Walker Blue and Miller Lite, specifically in that order. He hated sauerkraut, going bald and hypocrites, not necessarily in that order. He was known for his quick wit, his infectious smile, and his kind spirit. He was a gifted craftsman and completed beautiful residential work all over the state of Maryland during his life. He loved the water and having his girls out fishing and boating.
Jon is survived by his daughters Madison Nye-Armstrong and Adaline Armstrong, and he loved Skyler May as his own. He is also survived by his mother Hope Armstrong Howell and father John Howell, his brother Bryan Armstrong and wife Kimberly Armstrong, nephews Tristen Armstrong and Logan Armstrong, a brother Eric Howell and wife Britney Howell, and niece Piper Howell. A celebration of life will be held on his behalf on Sunday, August 25 at 2:00 pm the Cedarhurst Community Center in Shady Side.

To John’s family and loved ones I’m very sorry for the loss and wanted to give my condolences for your loss. John was a great friend to me and he will be missed dearly! We graduated together from southern. May he rest in peace. Prayers to your family!
Rest in peace Jonathan. You will be missed tremendously. Your mother loved you whole heartedly. And the Skerritt Family loved you too. Rest in peace. God is our rock. We may not know the time or the hour, only the creator knows. Hold tight Hope, the pain gets lighter over time.
The day you were born was a great boost for my morale, after losing my father 5 days prior. The biggest loser’s in this sad time is your girls, not having a Dad watch them grow up, see there accomplishments , mistakes, be there when they need help. One day I hope to me them. Always remember “The pain never stops, it just gets Easier”. I’m sorry I wasn’t there more often.
