Leslie L. Sands, 75, of Marshall, Arkansas left this world on November 17, 2024, and woke in the arms of his loving Savior. He was born to Mr. and Mrs. Albert and Ernestine (Thomas) Sands on New Year's Eve, December 31, 1948.
Leslie enjoyed playing bingo and loved listening to gospel music. He attended Special Services Learning Center where he took pleasure learning and socializing with others. He delighted in studying the bible and had a fondness for those who would take the time to study with him. Leslie loved cats; the color red was his favorite.

The family would like to extend gratitude to Highland Court Rehabilitation and Resident Care and give a special thanks to Leslie's many caregivers through the years for all their love and kindness.
Leslie is survived by his special cousin, Sandi and Kenny Allan of Saint Joe, Arkansas, and a host of extended family and friends.

Les was my special friend. I was at his home for over a year and I loved his songs,his jokes, 'that old mule, and the stories he told. He loved Jesus and loved going to church. I was glad to take him to my home on Sundays. He always remembered my family. Ronald, Janice, the preacher woman, and the grands He met. Now he s resting in peace

Always looked forward to seeing Leslie when he was able to come to Shady Grove Missionary Baptist Church. He seemed to enjoy his time there. I, Kay, graduated with Oris. Both men were very special.

Sandi & Allen,
I have never met y'all & didn't know about y'all until now. I'm a cousin to Leslie as well. My paternal Grandmother was Celia Sands Welch Lancaster & was a sister to Albert. I would like to talk to y'all if possible to see if we're related or if y'all are related on Leslie's Mother's side. My email is listed above if y'all would like to talk. I check it every week or two. Leslie was such a sweet & kind person & will most definitely be missed. If y'all would rather call me than email, I'm listed in the phone book. I probably won't be able to come to the visitation or funeral as I can't get around too good even though I'm only 53. May God bless y'all.
