Mr. Armstrong, who died Wednesday, December 10, 2025, at his residence, was born May 20, 1960, in Alabama to Donald Freeman Armstrong and Jewel Naomi Tanksley Armstrong. He was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, Jack Armstrong and Darryl Armstrong (Mary); sister, Sandra Armstrong; and significant other, Alice Letson. Clayton was a 1978 graduate of Lawrence County High School. He attended Calhoun Community College where he earned a degree in paint and auto body repair. He and his brothers opened Armstrong's Body Shop in 1991, where he worked diligently until 2023, when he no longer could work due to a stroke. He had a true passion for his job and took great pride in his work. He also took great pride in carrying on his love for ball, by coaching his two daughters and many others in youth softball. He was the best! Clayton's pride and joy were his grandchildren. Even in his last years which were very trying for him, he never let it stop him from going and doing the best he could. He was patient and loving through it all. Clayton was a friend to many and was loved so much.
He is survived by two daughters, Chelsey Cameron (Eric) and McKenzie Armstrong; brother, Dayton Armstrong (Vickie); three sisters, Lynnda Owens (Tim), Vickey Lundy (Steve), and Donna Hughs (Glenn); and three grandchildren, Case Cameron, Kennedy Cameron, and Cashyn Cameron.
Pallbearers will be Eric Cameron, Caleb Armstrong, Robert Kirksey, Daniel Armstrong, David Armstrong, Steve Lundy, and Herbert Lundy. Honorary pallbearers will be Case Cameron, Dayton Armstrong, Mark Armstrong, and Carl Drane.
