James (Jim) Benton Armstrong, 81, of San Cristobal passed away on December 17, 2022. He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather.

He served as an E4 in the US Army as a frontline medic during the Vietnam War. He is preceded in death by his parents, Joe and Dollie Armstrong and brother, Tommy Bailey Armstrong. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Maria Crestina Armstrong, his sons, Mario Trujillo (Tracy), Matthew Armstrong (Cynthia), and his seven grandchildren, Avery, Isaac, and Austin Armstrong, Ashley Keith and Courtney Trujillo, and Trevor and Morgan Smith, his brother, Joe Roy Armstrong (Doris) as well as many other relatives and friends.

Crestina and family,
We are so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. Like you, we also knew him to be a very good man, kind man who always had a positive word or story or one liner to make you smile. We are proud to be able to say that we knew him and worked alongside him on community development. We will miss him. Our prayers for him and for all of you go out today and throughout this very difficult time.
Rey, Georgia, Gina, Abe and all the family
