Nigel James Archer was born on the 23rd of december 1978.  The son of Alan James Archer and Jean Archer. Nigel had one biological brother and sister but also three adopted siblings too. His brother is Paul James Archer who is two years older than Nigel and his sister is Emma Louise Archer, two years younger than himself. Nigel was the treasured grandson of Alan James Archer senior and the late Gladys Benita Archer and also of Ruth Dale and the late John Dale. 
   Nigel grew up in a very close family environment  in Peterlee. He shared a bedroom with his brother and there was never a dull moment in their house when they were growing up. He and his brother would fight against each other and also gang up on their younger sister Emma.  He attended Eden Hall primary school from three years of age to eleven and then went onto Dene house comprehensive until he reached 16. He was a member of the Peterlee scouts, although he would never have let me type this if he was here with us today!




   During his lifetime Nigel fulfilled many dreams and filled it with a lot of good things. He fathered three sons, Brendan, Corey and Dre, and had many relationships and freinds. Nigel was taken away far too soon and in rather tragic circumstances, which left many broken hearts. He was a very amusing man and could brighten up a room with his big cheesey smile! 
   Nigel you are always gonna be missed and never forgotten. We love you still and always will xxx
