Archie was predeceased by his parents, Janet and Andrew Sabin; in-laws, Alexander and Dorothy Meston; grandsons,Ty Currall and Edwin Perrin; siblings, Margaret (Oliver) Skappel, Alf Sabin, Elsie Sabin, Esther (Everet) Marin, Josie (Harvey) Throssell, Stella (Archie) Shaver, Bob (Dorothea) Sabin, Bill (Mary) Sabin, Mae (Edward) Buchholz, Clifford (Mary Anne) Sabin, Mildred (Lief) Nelson; brothers-in-law, Murray Meston, Ken Mackie, Tex Pashko; and numerous nieces, nephews and friends. Archie was born on January 18, 1942, at his parent’s homestead near Minton, SK. He grew up the youngest of 14 children on the family farm in the Big Four community attending school and helping on the farm. He met the love of his life, Katherine (Kathy) Meston in Bengough, SK and Archie followed her all the way to Alberta. On November 14, 1970, Kathy and Archie were married in Red Deer, AB and with their two beautiful daughters Mona Lisa and Nova Lee they started their life in Central Alberta. Archie worked various jobs from rigs to cowboying until he started his own business as an A.I. Technician, which led Archie and Kathy to running the Hargrave Bullsprings Ranch in 1978. They welcomed two more daughters, Lynne and Lori to the mix and their family was complete. The family enjoyed adventures across the country; chuckwagon racing, rodeoing, 4H and a lot of time on the ranch. Archie had a work ethic that was unmatched and always went the extra mile to make sure the job was done right. He had a special gift of being able to hold a conversation and make a connection with anyone. Although he was always up for a good time, his best times were spent at the Bullsprings ranch and with his family. A simple man with a complex mind that had a zest for life. You never had to wonder what was on his mind or if he was proud of you because he left nothing unsaid. His zest for life, cheeky grin and his ability to turn a tough situation into an opportunity will be missed. A private service by invite only will be held on Saturday, January 22, 2022, in Medicine Hat, AB. A celebration of life and internment will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers memorial donations in Archie’s name may be directed to HALO, 12 - 1 Airport Drive SW, Medicine Hat, Alberta, T1A 5G4.
