Lary Dean Archer passed away peacefully Thursday, February 16, 2017, after a long battle of illnesses with family by his side. Born in Bowie, Texas, September 4, 1945.

He also enjoyed fishing, golfing and cheering on the Texas Rangers. He will be fondly remembered for his kind heart by all who knew him.
