Jessup Lane Sanders' Obituary
Jessup Lane Sanders
2-2-2000 ~ 4-30-2016
Jessup “P” Sanders was born in Longview, Texas on Groundhog’s Day in 2000 to Roy & Lisa Sanders. He left this life on April 30, 2016. Known and loved by all who knew him. He attended Longview Christian Heritage, Pearland ISD, Pine Tree ISD and was a sophomore at Longview High at his passing. A lover of the outdoors, he was an avid hunter, fisher and bow fisherman. As a young lad he excelled at BMX racing and motocross. He also excelled at football and baseball. At 6’-4” he was a gentle giant with a tender heart. Learning from his father and step-father, he was a great mechanic and could fix about anything. He loved his old truck and had spent countless hours rebuilding it, but never got to drive. Receiving his driver’s license last week, he couldn’t wait to hit the big road. He had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to play pranks. He touched most every one’s life he encountered. He is survived by his mother Lisa and step-dad David Crabb, step-brothers Robert & Mason Crabb, sister Ty Crabb, and brother Coy Sanders of Longview, Texas. Also survived by his father Roy Sanders, wife Tracy and step-sister Kindle Schmidt, all of Bullard, Texas. He will be forever remembered and missed by his grand-parents, aunts and uncles, brothers, sisters and multiple cousins. In lieu of flowers please make donations to East Texans’ against K2 and Partners in Prevention. Words cannot express the family’s appreciation for the countless emails, text messages, phone calls, food, prayers and love. Visitation will be Friday evening from 6~8PM at Fellowship Bible Church in Longview and service at 3PM on Saturday, also at Fellowship Bible Church, 4600 McCann Road.
