Mr. Cashion was born June 15, 1935, in Lincoln County, TN to the late Curtis and Bessie Lee Pitts Cashion. He began working at a very young age and remained active for most of his 89 years. Archie’s work life included Elk Cotton Mill, odd jobs working for the County, and driving a school bus. He also mowed yards, hauled trash, and tended graves for Lincoln Cemetery. Never wanting to sit still, Archie loved going to yard sales and trading. He was generous, enjoyed going out to eat, and always enjoyed having company. Archie’s greatest love was his family. He enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and got a kick out of aggravating them. Archie passed away July 12, 2024, at Donalson Care Center with his family by his side.

Archie was a true friend. He was my handy man for years and years. Always looking for something to do. We were always trading knives or guns. He always had several in his pockets or in his truck. There are no Archie Cashions’ left. He was up to do any job he was capable of. And he loved to negotiate! He was a dickerer. I and many others will miss him!
So very sorry to learn of Archie’s death. My sincere sympathy to his family.
I am so sorry.
