Michael Hellman Obituary
Dr. Michael Hellman, Sr. passed away peacefully at his home on December 18. He is survived by his wife Anna Hellman, daughter Genevieve Hoppe (Cole), son Michael Hellman Jr. (Emily), daughter Juliet Wagner (Jack) and grandson Tripp. For the last 26 years, Mike has devoted his life to taking the message of Alcoholics Anonymous to anybody gripped by that disease. He tried to make everyone understand that his Higher Power was Jesus and only through Him could you be saved. His constant companion was a little rescue dog named Wally. Mike was cared for and loved by Dr Al Weir and his whole family! In lieu of flowers, we ask any memorials be sent to Christian Medical and Dental Association (cmda.org)

I was good friends with Dr Hellman in Guadalajara. Also with Butch Wolf. We were in the same Med school group for 2 years. Then I left and finished at MD at University of Iowa. Graduated in 1972.

Mike and I and Butch Wolf were all very close friends. I would love to speak with you if possible. I hope it´s ok with you.I think of all our close friends and I also would love to speak to Norma Wolf too. I visited her when Butch and she were at at the clinic iMao clinic minnessota.

We had our 60th Overton High School Reunion in May of this year. I attended our 40th & 50th reunions with Mike. He and I were charter members of Overton´s Office Club. The surviving Office Club members all missed him at this one! Mike loved life and we all loved Mike! Mark Whitlow, Overton `64

I am sure that Mike is sorely missed! His vibrant personality made him a standout in Medical School in Guadalajara. My husband Butch Wolff was in his class. They actually died on same day!

Anna, you probably don´t remember me. St Joseph class of 1976. I am so sorry to hear Dr Hellman passed away. He was such a live wire and funny. Hope you are doing ok. My heart goes out to you

I can’t believe that Mike and Butch died on the same day! We were all in Guadalajara together for medical school. Butch was my husband & Mike was a dear friend. They both went too soon.

I went to the 9th grade at Colonial Junior High, Overton High School and MSU with Mike, where we both took pre-med. Mike worked hard to become a doctor and didn’t tease me too hard that I only become a lawyer. We kept up over the years and saw each other at our 40th and 50th Overton High School reunions. Most recently I saw Mike at a reception at my house 3 years ago for my mom’s passing which Mike and a few of our high school pals attended. It was like the old days for just a few magic moments that day. We parted at the door saying quietly that we loved each other, as only old friends can. I will miss him. He is with his Lord. God bless his family! Mark Whitlow

I am sad reading this this notice! Mike and I I were friends since we about six years old. I last spoke with him via telephone about a year or so! As I recall, we were in Sunday School at Central Baptist Church and later times we both attended High School at Overton. Wish I had contacted him more recently!!! Again I will pray for his soul and the family he left behind. Regards, Ronald Lee Hughes in Long Beach, MS

He was a wonderful brother-in-law with the BEST chef skills! I will miss him at the lake house & all the times he played host to “the sisters”. The ministry he gave to those trapped in the throws of addiction earned him a crown of glory in heaven. He’ll be missed forever but never forgotten

I knew Michael many years ago when he was working as a orderly at St Joseph’ s hospital. Little did I know how often we would continue to meet at Fisher celebrations. I always enjoyed talking to him. I know he was a very compassionate patient care giver. I keep you in my heart and prayers.
