Our family is very thankful for all the calls and visits from family and friends. John was a special man to us all and always made a lasting positive impact to anyone he encountered.
2 Corinthians 5: 6-8 “Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. For we live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.”
We are going to miss you but know that its only bye for now, and we will “see ya” again one day Tony (Diane) Helms, Cathy (Keith) Rushing and Tommy (Teresa) Helms; grandchildren, Anthony (Cynthia) Helms, Amanda (Shane) Greene, Matthew (Kayla) Laney, Stephanie Helms and Brandon (Stephanie) Helms; great-grandchildren, Bryson and Brantley Helms, Paxton and Harper Laney and Bradley and Maverick Helms.
The family will receive friends Tuesday, October 15, 2019 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm at McEwen Funeral Home of Monroe. A Celebration of Life for John will be Wednesday, October 16, 2019 at 2:00pm in McEwen’s Colonial Chapel, immediately followed by burial at Lakeland Memorial Park.
