Thomas Wayne HELTON
January 25, 1941 - December 28, 2021
Wayne Helton, 80, died peacefully at home on Tuesday, December 28, surrounded by his wife and children. Wayne was always an avid reader, and he enjoyed fishing and woodworking. We are blessed with memories of fishing trips and with the furniture and trinkets he made. But he will be most remembered for his wonderful sense of humor, whistling, jokes, and silly songs. He loved his family and so often showed it in his witty, good-natured teasing. He is loved and will be missed. Wayne is survived by his wife of 45 years, Becky (Brookshier) Helton; his children, Tom (Annette) Helton, Carol (Jed) Klapat, and Heather Helton; his grandchildren, Olivia Helton, Evelyn Klapat, and Brad Ruby; his siblings, Bill Helton and Judy (Ted) Keller; his mother-in-law, Rosalie Brookshier; his first wife, Jaynie Allee; and many nieces, nephews, and extended family members. Wayne was preceded in death by his parents, Viola (Williams) and George Helton, and by siblings Herbert Helton, June Larson, Jean Donegan, and Leon Helton. A funeral service for the family will be held Wednesday, January 5th, 2021 at 1 P.M.. In lieu of flowers, donations to United Methodist Committee on Relief or your favorite charity would be appreciated.
