William (Willie) F. Armistead, 65, of Woodridge passed away on Tuesday, March 11, 2025. Born August 10, 1959 in Charlottesville, Virginia, he was the son of Edna Kidd Armistead and the late William J. (Jackie) Armistead.

Willie is survived by his loving family, mother Edna; sisters, Robin (Mark) Wawner and Patricia (Robert) Berce; five nieces and nephews, Mickey (Lindsey) Berce, Mandy (Brad) Piland, Meredith (Joe) Carter, Wade (Savannah) Wawner and Matt Wawner; four great nieces and nephews, Kennedy, Teddy, Cameron and Sonny; aunts Joy Thacker and Mable Kidd, uncle Charles (Lindsay) Kidd and a multitude of cousins, family and friends.

Willie loved his family, the Dallas Cowboys, horseracing and fishing. He always made sure that his family was remembered at Christmas and especially delighted his nieces and nephews with Papa John’s gift cards in their stockings. He was a loyal Cowboys fan through the great times and the tough times and enjoyed “feeding the ponies” on occasion. One of his greatest joys was spending time fishing, always sharing his catch with family and friends. Remembering his laughing and “cutting up” will be forever in our hearts.
