We were so happy for Zoe and Andy with the news of twins to be born.
Archie and Hebe arrived and what beautiful babies they were.
Arch with lovely blonde hair, blue eyes and checky smile.
Happy, funny and fascinating he was.
Arch aways kept us on our toes, never boring and usually unpredictable.
He was so loved by so many people. Zoë, Andy and Hebe
Wonderful parents in everyway.
Arch will always be in our hearts

Miss and love you so much, Arch.xx Everything feels a little bit ‘less’ now you aren’t here to shine your bright orange light. Keep playing your giggle in my head please, as it brings me joy and I can see your smile. ☺️ "What do we do when our hearts hurt?" asked the boy "We wrap them with friendship, shared tears and time, till they wake hopeful and happy again" Eternal love for the most incredible parents and sister. Always here xxx
Mr Sam Morle
As Archie's grandparents, we have many happy memories of time spent with him. Especially when he was a toddler and young boy. We would visit him at home in Stratford-upon-Avon, and he visited us many times in Hereford. At home he loved nothing better than splashing around in water, or climbing trees. Often teasing us, laughing when we implored him to come down to safety. He let us know when he was happy, and when he wasn't.
When Arch visited us in Hereford, he always had to visit our local shop for chocolate - what else!. He would then shut himself in our understairs cupboard, happily playing for ages. Once, when he did this, he left us presents that we kept finding for weeks after - chocolates in our shoes!.
We have wonderful memories and photographs of Arch and Hebe playing with mud and water in our allotment when they were toddlers. We had visits to Queenswood Arboretum in Hereford where Arch was in his element running around freely amongst the trees and fallen leaves. Just being happy Archie.
More recently, it was such a pleasure to share time with Arch and Hebe on their 18th birthdays. It was a joy to see Arch in his "happy place", on the farm in Alcester.
Arch was blessed with the most devoted parents, Zoe and Andy, and his twin sister Hebe.
We will miss you always Archie. Fly high, and may your beautiful star shine brightly forever.
Love you always Gramps and Lady Jay xxx

RIP Archie .. ….
Mrs Pratiksha Acharya
He was a boy of wild heart and open skies.
Not built for walls or rules, nor for neatly drawn lines.
He didn’t walk the paths others laid out — he ran, barefoot and laughing, through meadows that only he could truly see. The woods were his cathedral, the river his companion, the wind in his hair his song.
He knew no boundaries — not because he defied them, but because he simply didn’t recognise them. His world was one of motion, feeling, instinct, and light.
Where others saw chaos, he saw freedom.
Where others asked for stillness, he answered with a sprint.
Autism wasn’t a cage for him — it was a different compass. One that pointed not north, but inward, outward, everywhere at once.
He belonged to the outdoors — to rain puddles, long grasses, flickering leaves, and the sparkle of water in the sun.
You couldn’t tame him, and you shouldn’t try.
He was exactly as he was meant to be: wild, bright, and beautifully, endlessly free.
