David Steven Armour

Born on October 28, 1953, in Columbus, Georgia, David lived a life marked by generosity, humor, and a genuine love for the people around him. He never met a stranger for long. Whether through a joke, a story, a helping hand, or simply his presence, David had a way of making people feel welcome and cared for.

David was a longtime member of First Baptist Church of Woodstock, and his faith in Jesus Christ was a cornerstone of his life. He was an avid reader and student of the Bible, spending many hours studying God's Word and seeking a deeper understanding of his faith. David believed strongly in the power of prayer and was always willing to pray with and for those around him during both celebrations and hardships. He loved sharing his faith, encouraging others, and speaking about the hope and comfort he found in Christ. His faith shaped the way he lived, the way he treated others, and the generosity and compassion for which he was known.

David spent much of his career with Kraft Foods before retiring on disability following a back injury in 2000. Though the injury changed the course of his life, David used the years that followed as an opportunity to invest in the things that mattered most to him. A longtime student of the stock market, he now had more time to follow the markets and pursue a passion he had enjoyed for many years. He also devoted more time to helping family and friends and continued building the relationships that meant so much to him. What could have been a difficult chapter became one in which his generosity, kindness, and willingness to help others touched even more lives.

A devoted sports fan, David loved Braves baseball, but his greatest sporting passion was Auburn football. Saturdays during football season were a special time, and his love for the Tigers was a bond shared across generations, connecting him with his father, Henry Armour, and later with his nephew, Andrew Armour. It was a passion that brought family together, created lifelong memories, and remained a constant source of joy throughout his life.

Those who knew David will remember a man who was larger than life in all the best ways. He loved to laugh, loved to make others laugh, and rarely passed up an opportunity to enjoy himself. He was a true character, known for his quick wit, big personality, and even bigger heart. His generosity knew few limits. He freely gave his time, resources, and support to family, friends, neighbors, and often complete strangers who simply needed a hand.

Above all, David loved his family. He was a devoted father to Matthew and John, and nothing brought him greater pride than being "Granddaddy" to Eleanor and Thomas. He adored his grandchildren and treasured every opportunity to spend time with them. He celebrated their accomplishments, attended their activities whenever he could, and never missed a chance to tell them how proud he was. Whether it was a school event, a Scout activity, a piano recital, or simply an afternoon together, those moments meant the world to him. His grandchildren brought him immense joy, and his love for them was evident to everyone who knew him.

David is survived by his mother, Sue Day Armour; his siblings, Richard Armour (Laura) and Kathy Armour; his sons, Matthew David Armour (Cara) and John Wesley Armour; his grandchildren, Eleanor Armour and Thomas Armour; his nephew, Andrew Armour; his niece, Elizabeth Armour; and many extended family members and friends whose lives were enriched by knowing him.

David was preceded in death by his father, Henry Armour.

While his family mourns his loss, they also celebrate a life well lived. There is comfort in knowing and seeing the joyful reunion between David and his father, Henry, surely talking Auburn football once again and picking up right where they left off.

David leaves behind countless stories, lasting friendships, and a legacy of kindness, laughter, generosity, and love that will continue through the many people fortunate enough to have known him. The measure of his life is found not only in the years he lived, but in the people he helped, the smiles he created, and the love he gave so freely.

He will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and forever loved.
