Matt was born June 22, 1971 in Independence, MO to John and Maurine “Rene” (née Palmer) Armstrong. He graduated from Liberty High School in 1990 and attended community college. Matt worked a variety of jobs before his health prevented it. He was a member of South Liberty Baptist Church. Matt loved to ride horses and swim, while his health permitted; he also loved all sports, especially Royals baseball, the Kansas City Chiefs, and KU Jayhawks basketball. He enjoyed cooking – he earned a certificate for a chef’s baking course - and was excellent at crochet.
His father, John M. Armstrong, his brothers, Tim and Tony Armstrong, Stepfather Don Marshall, Paternal Grandparents (Mark and Betty Armstrong), Maternal Grandparents (Maurice and Mary Palmer) and his Aunt Margie Palmer DeMonbrun preceded him in death.
Matt is survived by his mother, Rene Marshall Birkenholz (Larry, L.C.); his fiancé, Angie Shill; his stepmother, Cindy Armstrong; his stepsister, Tabitha Armstrong; as well as many other relatives and friends.
The family expresses their gratitude for the excellent care Matt received at home through KC Hospice.
