Pat Archer worked for Ford Motor Company

Patrick “Pat” Michael Archer, 50, the most genuine soul you will ever know, was called Home on November 3, 2021.

Patrick was a miracle and immediately blessed his father and mother, Barry and Suzanne Archer of Harrod, on February 18, 1971.

He has said that he barely graduated from Allen East High School in 1989 where he was active in FFA and 4-H.  He was on the football team wearing his number 69 but didn’t play much and was ok with that because that meant that someone else had their chance to shine.  He took pride in showing sheep and helping on the farm.  Having his own farm was a lifelong dream that was never truly realized.
