Archie was born at 4:22 p.m. on May 29, 2024, at Methodist Hospital in Des Moines, Iowa to Kelly Adams and Jordan Stark. He came into this world weighing over 6lbs. and was18 ½ inches tall. His personality was on full display the moment he entered the world. He could lift his head at an early age. Archie was a beautiful and easy-going baby whose grumpy and funny faces always entertained anyone lucky enough to see them. He was a content little boy, only really crying when it was time to be fed. Archie was loved by all who met him, and he will be greatly missed.
Archie is survived by his parents, Kelly Adams and Jordan Stark; grandparents: Cristin and Gary Adams, Gayle (Mike) Morgan, and John Stark; great-grandparents, Jill and Kenny Sharp, and Sherrie Stark; many aunts, uncles, and cousins; and friends: Colton Graham, Sarah Snow, Caden Souer-Fehrer, and Alexandra Stout. He was preceded by his great grandparents, Charles and Kay Ogle, and Elden and Ruth Thornton.

"With Archie's passing, we remind others that his life was one to be celebrated. Although we will miss him every day, especially his winning smile, and his grunts. He will forever remain in our hearts. Through his teachings about life, we were able to create wonderful memories; and it has been a privilege to be his parents."- Jordan and Kelly
