ADRIAN ARMSTRONG

ADRIAN ARMSTRONG 1957- 2025 With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Adrian John Armstrong on March 7, 2025, in Medicine Hat, Alberta, at the age of 68 years. Adrian was born on January 23, 1957, in Scunthorpe, England, to parents, John and Stephanie Pinder, who predeceased him. Adrian’s journey through life was marked by steadfast loyalty and a passion for music that touched the hearts of many. He majored in history at university in the UK, but he truly found his calling in his role as a composer and musician. He gigged at various events and venues around Medicine Hat, sharing his extraordinary talent and bringing joy to those who had the privilege of listening. In 2010, Adrian married his love, Tura Gillette, in Ontario. Their partnership was a testament to love and friendship, as they worked side-by-side in their courier business after moving to Medicine Hat in 2011. Together, they created a warm, welcoming home filled with music, laughter, and love. Adrian also leaves to cherish his memory his children, Sandy, Danny, Belinda, Issy, and Oliver. His legacy lives on in his grandchildren, Lily, Eliza, Skyla, Casper, Killian, and Mabel. Adrian loved to share his craft, co-writing music with his life-long friend Ian Unsworth for over 50 years. Through their collaboration, they created melodies that resonated with countless individuals. Adrian was a steadfast friend and partner, known for his loyalty and support, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him. A Celebration of Adrian’s life will be held at the Saamis Creekside Centre on Friday, March 21, 2025, at 2:00 PM.
