He is also survived by his first cousins Joshua Shuler (Tabi), WIlliam Jones III (Emma) and David Rooks (Jessi). His 2nd cousins: Daniel, Shyan,Isabella, Kalenee,Wyla and Mia. Andrew was preceded in death by his grandparents Daniel George Boone & Elizabeth Penny Boone. James B. Helms Sr. & Willie Mae Helms. Great-Grandparents: Limmie Lee Helms & Maxine C. Helms. John H. Skipper & Nellie Skipper. Andrew has touched so many lives in so many ways. The friend that could be called on whenever needed and he would be there. He was boisterous and had an adrenalin for life. He was an avid motorcyclist who fell in love with the ride and was a member of Island of Misfits. A son to James & Rachael Helms, a nephew who always had a hug and a smile for you & a cousin who was a constant in their lives. His absence will always be felt and he will live forever in our hearts. Until we meet again….. Thank you for your prayers, thoughts and contributions. From our whole hearts we appreciate you.
