Adam Armstrong Jr

Adam Armstrong was born in Beaumont, Texas to Adam Armstrong and Eldeared Armstrong Granville.

Adam attended school in Lansing, Michigan and was a member at St. Martin’s Catholic Church in Amarillo for the majority of his life. Adam was a lifelong fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, The Temptations, and Superman, and he was a frequent traveler. He and his wife Dina traveled extensively all over the states. He was close with his mom and very protective of his family; his grandchildren were his pride and joy. He was very charismatic and his smile and charm lit up any room he walked into.

Adam was a highly motivated entrepreneur who specialized in car sales, which was his passion. He began his career at the age of nineteen working for an Oldsmobile dealership in Michigan. He also attended General Motors Technical School while in Michigan. In September of 1976 he received a diploma for completing the Small Car Salesman’s Selling Conference. From 1976 to 1977, Adam was awarded ‘Salesman of the Month’ for 18 months in a row at Bradley Lincoln Mercury. Also in 1977, he was granted membership of the ‘Three Quarter Million Dollar Club’ in recognition of Superior Sales Achievement. He received an honorable mention in the November 1994 issue of the Amarillo Auto Auction Inc Market Report. In 2003 he founded North Star Enterprises, which included real estate, automotive, and entertainment. During this time, he was also a co-owner of A & J Autos. He continued his work in car sales until he retired in 2010, and relocated to Las Vegas.

Adam was preceded in death by his mother Eldeared Armstrong Granville, father Adam Armstrong Sr, brothers David D. Armstrong, Alton Armstrong, Michael James Armstrong Sr, sister Kana Granville, as well as his grandson Aremy Justin Armstrong Jr.
