Following is Wade's obituary:
Beloved husband, father, son and brother Wade Archibald, 35 years of age passed away September 27, 2009 at his home surrounded by his loved ones.
Melbourne Wade Archibald was born March 31, 1974 in Murray, Utah to Bruce and Ann Archibald. the family moved to Vernal, Utah and then to Yuma, Arizona in 1978 where Wade attended and graduated from Cibola High School in 1993. After graduation Wade faithfully served a two-year mission in the Tennessee Nashville Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Wade is survived by his wfie Stephanie and their children McKenna and Bryce of the family home, his parents of Yuma, Arizona, sisters Teri Burinda of Knoxville, TN, Andrea Archibald of Yuma, Angela Archibald of Tucson, Arizona and his brother Kevin Archibald of Yuma in addition to many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews and cousins.
Wade met his eternal companion Stephanie Shoopman before he was called on a mission and waited for Stephanie to return from her mission to England to marry. They were married in 1996 and Wade worked in the construction industry until he was hired by Bowman Concrete where he worked most of his adult life other than a short time when they returned to Yuma. Wade was in their employ up to his passing. We are most grateful to them.
Wade was a member of the Silvergate Park Ward of the Pueblo Stake in Mesa, Arizona where he served in the Elders Quorum as a teacher. Wade and Stephanie served as the young single adult leaders for a time, a position that he loved and learned from.
Wade's loves were, first and foremost, his wife and children and extended family, followed by Diamondback baseball, scuba diving, trap and skeet shooting and sushi. Wade never found a fish he would not eat raw. Wade's bucket list was almost complete when he beat his dad and shot a perfect round of trap shortly before he lost his strength.
Friends and family will have an opportunity to visit the family on Thursday October 1 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and 9:00 to 9:45 a.m. on Friday followed by a celebration of his life to be held at 10:00 a.m. on Friday October 2. Both will be held at the Silvergate Park Ward building at 1315 S 24th St, Mesa, AZ
In lieu of flowers donations would be appreciated to the Southwest Autism Research and Resource Center, Campus for Exceptional Children, 300 N 18th St, Phoenix AZ 85006 (602)340-8717.

I feel close to my husband when I am on temple grounds and more so inside the temple...your niece should seek comfort there...I know it does for me!! Much love to you, my friend!
