Benson Lee Anable, age 54, of Texarkana, TX left us on Sunday, October 25, 2020. He was born on May 19, 1966, in Fort Worth, TX to John Edd Anable and Patsy Medcalf Anable.

Benson was full of life; active, and always ready for an adventure. He was a voracious reader, deeply contemplative and a critical thinker. His connection to the Divine was interior and private but evidenced in how he loved. Benson was a tender soul who could find beauty in any place or situation and always pointed others toward that beauty and light. Known as Fish to his friends, he was the funniest, most insightful and compassionate man most will ever meet. He will be deeply missed.

Benson is survived by his mother, Patsy Skelton of Texarkana, TX, his wife, Krista Starnes of Little Rock, AR, brother, Wesley Powell of Mobile, AL, his children, Katie Williams of Arkadelphia, AR, Jacob Anable of Hope, AR, Brian Christopher Butler, Skyler Benson Anable, and Devon Anable, of Texarkana, his four grandchildren, Brock, Binx, Cruz and Greyson, three nieces, and his closest friends, Kelly Hancock, Jaret Everett, Scott Mills, and Monroe Lindley.

Benson was pre-deceased by his Daddy, John Edd Anable, his Granddaddy and Grandmommy, Ben and Jessie Medcalf, and his Stepdad, Patty Skelton.

The family will host a memorial service for friends and family at Rocky Creek Outdoors in Texarkana, TX on Saturday, November 7 from 2:00 to 4:30p.m. Still pending are arrangements for graveside services at South Fork Cemetery in Gurdon, AR with Brother Matthew Butler of First Bikers Church officiating. Cremation arrangements are under the direction of Cremation Services of Arkansas (501) 313-5431
