Archie Floyd Kephart passed away peacefully at 5:01 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 23, 2017, at Baxter Regional Medical Center, Mountain Home, Ark.
Archie was born in Murphy and later moved to Oregon.
He married Judy Anne Migas in October 1963.
Archie worked for Hine’s Lumber Co., Westfir, Ore., for several years, until a logging accident made it impossible for him to continue this kind of work.
In 1997, he returned to his roots in the South, where he spent the remainder of his life enjoying his favorite pastimes: exploring the outdoors, gold panning, metal detecting, gardening and spending time with his beloved little dog, Snuffy.
Archie was very involved in his church and spent countless hours sharing Bible studies with family/friends.
Archie is survived by his two daughters, Melinda Owusu and Brandy Kaye in Oregon; and three sisters, Kathy Miller in Alaska, Ann Knofcynski in Oregon and Carolyn England in Alabama. He also is survived by three granddaughters, Heather, Teresa and Maria.
Archie is in the arms of Jesus now. Rest in peace, Daddy.
