A doubt the letter of Archangel of Thune his ability says; Whenever you gain life, put a + 1 / + 1 counter on each creature you control, Ok an example, is that I attack with the Archangel is a 3/4 and my opponent blocks me with 2 creatures with flying 2/2, archangel makes 2 damage to the first and I gain 2 lives, which makes Archangel get a + 1 / + 1 counter converting it to a 4/5, and causing it to do 2 damage to the last blocker and to survive Archangel, and again to win other 2 lives and putting another counter + 1 / + 1, which would make it from 3/4 to 5/6 at the end of the fight, am I correct?
As the combat damage step begins, combat damage is assigned (C.R. 510.1): since Archangel of Thune's power is 3, you can assign 2 or 3 combat damage to the first blocker and the rest to the other (C.R. 510.1a, 510.1c), and the blockers each assign 2 damage to Archangel of Thune (C.R. 510.1a, 510.1d). Then the damage is dealt and you gain 3 life (C.R. 510.2, 119.3f). This makes Archangel of Thune's ability trigger (note that the ability triggers only once here, even if Archangel of Thune deals damage to more than one creature at the same time — the phrase "Whenever you gain life" means "Whenever a source causes you to gain life" [C.R. 118.9]) (C.R. 603.2). However, Archangel of Thune now has 4 damage on it (which equals its toughness), so is sent to the graveyard (C.R. 510.3, 116.5, 704.5g) — and this happens even before its ability can even go on the stack (C.R. 116.5, 510.3a), let alone give Archangel of Thune any +1/+1 counters; however, that ability will still get to resolve (C.R. 112.7a), so that when it does, if you control other creatures (and they survived the combat), you still give them a +1/+1 counter each.
Ok, so Archangel of Thune's ability will be solved, after all the damage done by the creatures has been assigned, which means that if in the end Archangel received deadly damage, he will not receive an accountant because he died, but he will give it to other creatures the counter + 1 / + 1, am I right?

Other creatures you control, yes. I assume you mean "counter", not "accountant" (contador).
If your Archangel died due to combat damage they will not be around to receive counters from their own ability. The ability will resolve as normal and grant counters to every living creature.
