Kenneth Archer Obituary

It is with great sadness that the family of Kenneth Alburt Archer, 64, of Coloma, announce his sudden passing on Saturday, Jan. 22, 2022.

Services will be at 11 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 31, at Duffield & Pastrick Family Funeral Home in Coloma where visitation will be on Sunday from 2-4 p.m. Burial will be in Millburg Cemetery.

Those wishing to leave an online message of remembrance may do so at www.duffieldpastrick.com.

Kenneth started his journey in life in Grand Rapids, Mich., on Monday, June 10, 1957.

In his youth, he was a lady killer with a leather jacket, motorcycle, and a touch of cologne. Above all else he was a deeply devoted father and husband. He was a gifted journeyman millwright who will be equally missed for his ability to fix anything as well as his willingness to help everyone around him. His expertise and dedication will be sorely missed by those at Menasha Corp. in Coloma where he worked for more than a decade.

Kenneth will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 10 years, Constance; children: Kenny Archer, Marie Stillwell, Adam Archer, Travis Archer, Stephanie (DJ Zech) Archer, Tiffany Archer, and stepdaughter Dakota Schilke. Also surviving are grandchildren: Ariel Mcgaha, Brittany Forrest, Samuel Curtis, Josh Archer, Zack Archer, Hunter Archer; seven great-grandchildren; siblings: Brenda Beaver, Mary Gilbertson, Shirley Miller, Susie Walker, and Joy Crall; his mother, Dorothy Ray; and many other family members and friends.

He was preceded in death by his father, Lloyd Ray; sister, Margaret Archer; and brothers: Melvin and Jimmy Archer.
