David Alan Helke, age 64 of Twinsburg passed away Tuesday, October 7, 2025. He was born in Bedford, Ohio to the late Elroy and Evelyn (nee Collin) Helke. He was the beloved husband of Susan (nee Spratt) Helke, loving father of Tyler Helke, cherished brother of Barbara (Steve) Quade, and a dear uncle of many.

David graduated from Nordonia High School in 1980 and Kent State University in 1984 with a degree in Transportation and Logistics. He worked for many years at AIM Integrated Logistics as a Logistics Engineer. To many of his friends and neighbors, he was known as "Mr.Fix-It".
