Alan Archer Obituary
As a young man, he was always interested in mechanical things and could frequently be found running the back roads of rural Vermont in a pieced together car he called a "doodlebug" which he purchased for five dollars.
Alan married his high school sweetheart Brenda in 1972 and remained completely smitten and devoted for the next 54 years. He is survived by his wife; three children; two grandchildren; and a younger sister and brother. He was a faithful Christian who loved God, was always prepared to share his faith with others, and was active in his church. His legacy of faith and service will continue to inspire all who knew him.
A funeral service will take place on Tuesday, March 17. 2026 at Faith Baptist Church, 6423 Hamilton Bridge Road, Milton, FL with viewing at 10:30 AM and funeral at 11:00 AM. Graveside service to follow at Serenity Gardens Cemetery.

Dear Brenda, Jeannine, Stephen, Kathy and the rest of the Archer and Cornell family,
We are so saddened to hear that Alan went to heaven before we had one more opportunity to visit with him and you, which was planned for later this month. In life, there are a few people who, even if you haven't seen them for quite a while, have left an indelible memory that stays with you throughout the years. Such are the fond memories that we have of Alan and you, Brenda. We love you so much. Our prayers will continue to be with you.
