David Edmonds Archibald

David Edmonds Archibald, Sr., 67, of Wilmington, passed away at home with his wife by his side on Sunday, October 31, 2021.  David (Dave) was born in Washington, DC on September 28, 1954 to Parker and Frances Archibald. 

He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle.

In 1977, he married his high school sweetheart and love of his life, Victoria (Vic) Archibald.

David was very involved with his church and his faith in God. He was a big fan of the Washington Football Team (Redskins), loved the beach, and his favorite vacation was going to the mountains with his family. Family was everything to him.
