"Sherry...I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Leland. My thoughts and prayers have been with you and your family during this difficult time. "
In loving memory of
Leland Dewight Cable
October 19, 1956 - January 17, 2023
Leland was born in Warren, Ohio, to Mike and Shirley Cable. Leland grew up in Bastrop, Louisiana, but was able to travel to almost every state in the country while his dad worked as a pipeliner. Leland accepted the Lord as his Savior at an early age and was a member of Cherry Ridge Baptist Church until 2007, where he served as head of the TV ministry for more than 20 years. Leland worked in the pipelining and oil industries for years in Alaska, Utah, California, Louisiana, and then began a long career in the water industry in Louisiana, Kansas, and Arizona
Leland married Sherry in 1988. Leland is survived by his son, Ashley and Nikki, and grandson, Skyler. Leland shared Sherry's two daughters: Amy Glenn and Kristy Pulkrabek and grandsons Carson and Ben. He is survived by 3 brothers, Milton, Robert, and Kerry and Fran and their families. Also, he is survived by his father-in-law, J.H. Lockwood, two brothers in-laws Mike and Bill, and their families.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Mike and Sherry Cable.
At the age of 51, Leland and Sherry moved to Garden City, Kansas. There, in 5 short years, they made many wonderful, lifelong friends. At the age of 56, God brought them to Phoenix, Arizona - they thought so Sherry could help take care of the grandchildren. But in 2016, Leland, being at one of the best lung hospitals in the country, was blessed with a double lung transplant. For the rest of his life, Leland was eager to share his remarkable journey of God's leading with all he met. He never complained but was always thankful. He and Sherry are presently members of First Southern Baptist Church in Scottsdale, Arizona.

"Leland was my first official date in the 7th grade. We went to a church dance and we were both too scared to dance. Lol Leland was always a sweet, kind person. I am so glad we kept in touch over the years. My sincere condolences to the family and everyone fortunate enough to have known Leland."
"We have fond memories of Mr. Leland from Cherry Ridge. He would give candy to the kids when he walked down the isle to his seat. Hannah and Brian looked forward to that every Sunday. I know Leland will be missed. Love and Prayers to Sherri and family. Unaka Pugh"
"We have known Leland, Sherry and the family for a very long time. We attended Cherry Ridge Baptist Church in Bastrop, LA. with them for many years when we all lived there. Leland was one of the most pleasant individuals you could ever meet - he served the Lord with gladness...one you could always count on, a "friend." He will be missed on this earth, but he now dwells in the house of the Lord forever. Our hearts go out to the family, and our prayers are with them. "He heals the broken-hearated."
