Jim SABLE Obituary
SABLE, Jim
Born April 25, 1948 in Duncan, OK, passed on June 24, 2011 in Sacramento, CA. Cabinetmaker extraordinaire, Jim dedicated himself to his career by creating magic with wood. His hobbies included fishing, fly tying, camping, skeet shooting, leather crafting, baseball and teasing his grandkids. Jim was a loving husband, father and Papa of 12. He is survived by his loving wife of 33 years, Drue; daughters, Brenda Lewman (Troy), Brooke Stanley (Matt); sons, Dustin Sable (Melissa), and Andrew Sable. He was Papa to Erica, Grant, Ethan, Evan, Avery, Landon, Sadie, Madyson, Cassidy, Abbygale, Jackson and Hudson. He'll be greatly missed, not only by his two best friends, 'The General' and his dog 'Bug', but by all who knew and loved him. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, July 2, 1:30pm at Tyler Street Church of Christ, 5029 Tyler Street, Sacramento, CA.

Drue,
It'll be a year tomorrow since we all physically lost Jim but I truly know that Jim has not and will not ever leave your side. He wouldn't want you to be sad but instead would want you all to laugh and remember all the fun and wonderful years together and to party in his memory.
Drue, it's time for you to allow yourself to go on with your life and live it to the fullest. I love you little ssss.. Big hugs to you and your family!

Drue, I regret that we had lost contact. Jim will remain one of the best and dearest friends I've had. Many good memories at Glendora High and well into our adult lives. Lots of fishing stories both in California and here in Washington. Please contact me (425) 359-1646. God Bless you and your family.
Jim Seaman, Moses Lake, Washington

We've been looking for Jim & his family for several years. Sadly, another GHS 66 passed away. Jim, find a fishing spot, and look for JR Rushlow, he is in the area. ~ Mike n Teri

My Love, I'm hoping that you're fishing with "great big little tiny jack" and have finally caught the "big one"!
You and I had one hell of a ride, didn't we? Never will I regret one minute of time shared with you and our kids. You and I came to peace, lovingly. Because of that, we grew closer every day.
You were a courageous man and I will forever admire you. You gave me strength through your humor when I felt like I couldn't go on. Thank you.
In your words, "throw a party for me, no sad notes, just have fun." We did just that with a "party" celebrating your life. Did I mention that '180' people attended? No, I didn't pay anyone to be a fill in, hee-heee!
I will love and miss you all the days of my life.

Aloha Drue: My condolence to your family and although we just reconnected thru FB I was totally surprised that your partner and friend has gone to be with our Lord. I know that words cannot express or comfort the pains of losing someone close. I know that feeling when I lost my Dad awhile back. But I sincerely believe that he is in a better place and one day you'll be reunited. On behalf of my Ohana (Family) here in Honolulu we extend our prayers and love with Aloha....

We all miss you so much Papa! Take care of "Big huge little tiny Jack" for us 'til we get to see you both again! I'm sure you're having a blast fishing together! You were, and will always be by far one of the best Dads anyone could ask for! I love you! -"Babe"

Dear Uncle Jim, I hope you find plenty of full sinks in heaven so that one of your little inside jokes can live on :). Even without sinks, I know that your joy and humor is creating happiness in all of your travels. Love, Keri

Drue- I was so sorry to hear about Jim. You guys were one of the first people I got to know. He was a true sweetheart. I could always see the love the two of you had for each other. Just remember when you close your eyes he will always be there.
