The Armstrongs are Jeffrey's siblings, raising money for Laura Armstrong, Jeff's wife, to offset medical expenses and now the expenses related to losing a husband and father. Jeff was the primary source of income for the family of four children. All dollars raised will go directly to helping the family stay in their town so connected to Jeff and give them time to heal, which doesn't feel real.
 
It is with heavy hearts, but a profoundly blessed sense of peace, that we share the news of Jeff's passing. He is now wrapped in the beauty of our Heavenly Father. 
 
While saying goodbye was excruciating, it was also an incredibly beautiful passing. We take immense comfort in knowing he had a front row seat to Jesus and that he is now completely pain-free, forever. (he has been dealing with one thing or another). 
 
He left this world knowing that his family is deeply cared for. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your overwhelming support. Your prayers during this journey gave him the ability to let go. 
 
Please keep our family in your prayers as we navigate the road ahead. 
 
Original request for support 
 
For a little over a year, Jeff has been quietly and courageously fighting cholangiocarcinoma. This has been an additional fight coupled with his colitis, ileostomy, and thyroid cancer. For a long time, he has been able to manage the disease, but recently, everything changed. The cancer has spread to his C6 vertebrae, hip, and femur bone—progressing his diagnosis to Stage 4. Because things are moving so quickly, Jeff made the brave decision to seek advanced, individualized treatment, which led him to Envita Medical Center in Scottsdale, Arizona. He is currently undergoing a highly specialized 12-week intensive program, and we are praying fiercely for miraculous healing every single day. 
 
Up until now, we have kept this journey incredibly quiet. In many ways, saying it out loud makes it all feel far too real. But we know how deeply Jeff is loved, and we know we cannot carry this alone anymore. It is time for us to come together and crowd heaven with our prayers, our hope, and our support. 
 
Jeff is a devoted brother, loyal friend, and loving husband, but above all, he’s a dad to four kids who light up when he walks in the room. This fight is about giving him more of what matters most: time to watch his children grow, time with his wife, and time to keep showing up for the people who love him. 
 
Jeff has always been a pillar of strength and a role model to so many of us. Now, it is our turn to be that pillar for him.
