We only knew Mr. Helmer a short time when his son played Football with our son Keith Brown. We have enjoyed talking with Mr. Helmer and he also had a kind word to say. He also gave a hand at practices and was always willing to help in anyway he could. Mr. Helmer will be miss by all who knew him.
From The Brown Family, Keith, Sheila & Keith II.

Tonya,
I regret to say that I have not seen Jamie since High School. In fact, it was not until I heard the news that I learned that you both moved into his family home close by to me. However, I will always remember him as a good friend and such a good person. My heart goes out to you and Dustin.
Sincerely,
Chris Crosier
