Johnny was a loving husband to his wife, Melissa, and a devoted father to his sons, Jonathan, Raymond, and Dylan. His family meant everything to him, and he cherished the time, memories, and moments they shared together. He was especially proud of his grandchildren, Carly, Karson, Jolie, and Rylan who brought great joy and love into his life.

He was proceeded in death by his parents, Johnny Gaston Helms Sr, and Lavetta Quay Lumpkin; his brother Roy Helms, his sister Debbie Ludwig, and his brother-in-law and exceptionally close friend George Alton Kiestler Jr. brother of Melissa. Their friendship was an important and cherished part of Johnny's life.

Johnny's love, memories, and the lessons he shared with those around him will remain a lasting part of his family's lives.
