Bryce Lawrence Archibald

July 23, 1994 - October 22, 2025 (age 31)

Bryce Lawrence Archibald, 31, passed away on October 22, 2025, in Montpelier, Idaho.

Bryce was born on July 23, 1994, in Rock Springs, Wyoming. From an early age, he developed a deep love for the outdoors. An avid fisherman and nature enthusiast, Bryce found peace and inspiration in the beauty of the natural world—something that often came to life in his creative tattoo designs.

Bryce brought creativity to everything he did. Having worked in the food industry for most of his adult life, he always put his own spin on recipes—whether he was supposed to or not. He carried that same creativity into cooking the day’s catch, experimenting and developing his passion for food and artistry. As a tattoo artist, Bryce truly found his calling and was able to fully express his creative spirit. He never hid his gifts and found the greatest joy in sharing them, spreading happiness to those around him.

Bryce always dreamed of becoming a father, and when Odin was born, he became Bryce’s whole world. Through life’s ups and downs, Odin kept Bryce centered and focused on what mattered most—family. Odin was Bryce’s greatest joy, and the love he had for his son is immeasurable. He loved sharing his passion for fishing and nature with him, creating memories that will live on forever.

Bryce is survived by his beloved son, Odin; his parents, Phillip Archibald and Shelly Hartley; and his siblings, Iliea, Korahle, Matthew, Mallari, Fred, Makayla, Taylor, and Emma. He is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews who will miss him dearly.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Grandpa and Grandma Archibald and Grandpa and Grandma Maser; his aunt, Gloria Kirwan; his cousins, Seth Solano and John Maser; and his godfather, Bob Maser.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at the Oregon Trail Center, 320 N 4th St., Montpelier, ID 83254, to celebrate Bryce’s life and the love he shared with all who knew him.

Condolences and memories may be shared with the family at Matthews Mortuary.
