Steve came into the world on July 20, 1966, the son of Meliton Archuleta and Genevieve Salazar Archuleta. Steve was united in marriage to the love of his life Brenis Trujillo on April 11, 1986. They shared a long and loving union. Archie was VERY well known and loved by all who met and knew him. He was a people person and ornery and loving as they come. He was always the one who would give the shirt off his back and would help anyone in need. You could always depend on Archie to be a good listener if you needed someone to talk to. He was the best at giving his opinion and advise and made sure to give it to you straight, as raw as that may have been. He was honest, had a contagious laugh as well as his personality is what drew people to him. He owned and operated Kitchen Works, which was home of everyone's favorite the "Mel Burger." When he did have free time he loved going for rides on his Harley, being outdoors hunting and fishing. His family was his life, he LOVED spending every minute he could with his children and grandchildren. Archie will be missed dearly.
