He was a man whose life was a testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit. Born on August 27, 1939, in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, Archie's journey through life was marked by his unwavering faith, his dedication to his family, and his tireless work ethic.

On November 20, 2025, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Archie's earthly journey came to a peaceful end, his heart having given all it could to the world he so dearly loved.

Archie's life was one of service and commitment. He spent many years behind the wheel as a truck driver, where his jovial nature and reliability made him a favorite among his peers. With hands skilled in the art of repair, he also worked as a diesel and auto mechanic before eventually taking on the role of Warehouse Supervisor at MCI.

His professional life was marked not only by his practical skills but also by the warmth and integrity with which he approached every task and every relationship.

A devout Christian, Archie's faith was the cornerstone of his existence. He found solace and strength in the pages of his Bible, and his life echoed the teachings of Christ in his kindness, patience, and generosity.

He was an active member of his church, where he shared his love for the Lord with everyone he encountered.

Archie's greatest joy was his family. He was a loving husband to his wife, Jazmin Hunt-Adams of 17 years along with daughters Kendra & Monique, sons Shawn & Simeon and niece Sheila.

Archie was a guiding light to his children, Radcliffe, Rohan, Fritz, Argil, Patrick, Carlmore, and Nadine. Each of his sons carried a piece of Archie's spirit, from his resilience and determination, while his daughter embodied his compassion and grace. He will be remembered by his siblings; Winston, Pauline, Carlton.Sonny/Archie is survived by over 50+ Grand and Great-Grand Children, numerous Nieces, Nephews and a loving Church Family.

His presence was a source of stability and love, and he cherished every moment spent with his grandchildren, whose laughter and energy brought him endless happiness.

The legacy Archie leaves behind is one of love, hard work, and faith. He was a man who approached life's challenges with a quiet determination and who found joy in the simple pleasures—be it a well-worn Bible verse or a day spent surrounded by his beloved grandchildren.

Though his presence will be deeply missed, the memories he created, the wisdom he imparted, and the love he shared will continue to resonate in the hearts of those who knew him.

Archibald Messian Adams's journey on this earth may have concluded, but his spirit remains an indelible part of the tapestry of lives he touched.

As we honor his memory, we are reminded of the preciousness of each day and the enduring power of faith, family, and love. May he rest in peace, secure in the knowledge that his was a life well-lived.

He was predeceased by his parents Leonora Scott and Wilby Adams; Grinnell Adams (Brother), Dawnalee Blackwood (Sister) and Meloney Adams (Daughter).
