Of McEwen, TN passed away Saturday, August 2, 2025, at TriStar Horizon Medical Center in Dickson, TN. He was born January 14, 1934, in McEwen, TN to James Wilson Hooper and Bertha Oma Hooper.

Throughout his illustrious career, Archie made significant contributions as a carpenter for J.A. Reece and L.D. Patrick, showcasing his skill and craftsmanship.
