Tommy Archie

Tommy Archie of New Brockton, AL passed away peacefully surrounded by family, Friday, July 4th, 2025 at Southeast Health in Dothan. He was 72.

He was a devoted husband, loving daddy, proud grandaddy and great-grandaddy, cherished brother, and loyal friend. He found joy in the simple pleasures of life—spending time outdoors, fishing, hunting, listening to music, and watching westerns. Above all, he treasured time with his family. One of the greatest joys of his life was running “Grandaddy’s Day Care & Taxi Service,” where his love for his grandchildren was evident—especially in his reluctance to say “no.” His days were often brightened by FaceTime calls with his great-granddaughter, Everleigh, whose smile brought him endless happiness.

Funeral service will be held at 2pm on Monday, July 7, 2025, at Searcy Funeral Home and Crematory Chapel with Matt Jordan, Mark Griffis, and Matt Griffis officiating. Burial will follow at Mount Zion Baptist Church Cemetery, at Mixons Crossroads. The family will receive friends from 1pm until time of the service.

Tommy was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Mary Laura Archie; Mother-in-Law, Mildred Grissett; four brothers, Doyle D. Archie, Ed Archie, Billy Archie, and Donald Archie.
