Shea, Archibald “Archie” – 1960 - 2022 of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Archie on May 21, 2022.
He was a son of the late Gerald and Catherine (Cameron) Shea. He was predeceased by his nephew, Sean Kieswetter; and his fur baby, Kelise.
Archie is survived by his brother, James; sisters, Jean (Garry), Geraldine (Ray), and Betty; nieces, Kelly, Robyn and Anne; and great-nephews, Sean and Hunter. He also leaves behind his life partner, Brittani Amirault; cats, Clyde and Bagheera; best friends Dave, Neil (Jolene), Michael and Frances.
Archie was a fun, loving and free-spirited man. He was born in Kitchener, Ontario and travelled throughout Canada until finding home in Nova Scotia. He was an amazing cook and meat cutter by trade who loved to prepare delicious meals for his friends. Archie had a great sense of humour, he had the best laugh and smile. He had a love for the ocean, fishing, writing, and talking to everyone. He had the gift to gab, his friend would tell him “you can talk more than I can listen”. That was sometimes true, but Arch always had a good story to tell. Archie loved all animals, including his three cats. He was the best cat dad, and his little buddy, Clyde will truly miss him. He was a kind face to so many in the community, and his compassion for others will always be remembered.
A small memorial service will be held at the Dartmouth Commons at a later date.
Arrangements are under the direction of Arimathea Funeral Cooperative, Upper Musquodoboit.
