Archer Boyd

It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved son, Archer Boyd - known to all who loved him as Archie. Born full of light and joy, Archie was a beautiful baby boy with a bright smile, boundless energy, and a love for life that touched everyone around him. At just 20 months old, he had already carved a place in the hearts of so many.

 

Archie was the adored youngest brother of three proud big brothers, (Harry, Freddie & Alfie) and the absolute apple of his parents (Derek & Eileen’s) eye — our “icing on the cake.”

 

Archie was fascinated by tractors and diggers, captivated by Paw Patrol, and already an avid fan of ice hockey. He was the biggest supporter of his brothers North London Nationals & Junior Mustangs teams! He was happiest splashing in the waves during family trips back to Ireland or zooming to the park on his little trike for a swing or a quick ride down the slide.

 

His favourite colour was yellow — warm, sunny, and joyful, just like him.

 

He was deeply loved by his grandparents (Charles & Catherine Crowley; Colm & Margaret Boyd), aunts, uncles, cousins, little friends from daycare (St. Kateri), and his beloved Bernedoodle, Boru. His laughter, curiosity, and gentle spirit will remain forever in our hearts.

 

Though his time with us was heartbreakingly short, Archie’s impact was immeasurable. His bright soul will continue to shine in all who knew and loved him. We will carry his light with us forever.

 

Forever our baby boy. Forever loved. Forever missed.
