Bill Archibeck passed away on May 26, 2025. He was born on September 22, 1937, in Albuquerque. A proud native son, Bill deeply loved his hometown and its people. He spent the majority of his life in Albuquerque, raising a family, working hard, serving his community and making hundreds of friends along the way.

Bill spent 36 years in banking, first with First National Bank of Albuquerque and later with First Community Bank, where he helped countless local businesses secure the support they needed to grow. Well-respected in the business community, Bill was known for his honesty, professionalism and friendly working relationships.

He was also deeply committed to civil life. Bill was active in the Hispano Chamber of Commerce, the Albuquerque Convention and Visitors Bureau, and was a longtime member of the Kiwanis Club of Albuquerque. He served the Kiwanis in many roles — board member, club president and lieutenant governor — always striving to make service meaningful and fun.

Bill is survived by his loving wife of 64 years, Mary Ellen “Ellie” Archibeck, and his three daughters.
