Paul David Helms was born on December 30, 1943 to Lois and Houston Helms in Harrison, TN. He fell asleep in death on December 8, 2020. On May 1963, he married Barbara Cooper and from this union was born his only child Allicia Dawn. Later on December 17, 1979, he married Denise Padgett his loving wife for over 40 years. On July 25, 1959, Paul dedicated his life to Jehovah and was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. For the last 5 years he had a renewed love for his God and demonstrated it by diligent bible study, attending Christian meetings, sharing in the preaching work and assisting in maintaining the Kingdom Hall. He spent many hours each month trying to help others to come to a better understanding of the Bible and loved the association it provided as well as meeting interested ones. He showed his love for Jehovah’s beautiful creation by spending many hours doing yard work, enjoying the swimming pool, boating, skiing and enjoying time at the river. In his young years he enjoyed playing tennis and watching Auburn football. Paul is survived by his wife Denise, daughter Allicia Lowery (Chad), five siblings: Shirley Dunston, Wanda Allen (Steve), Danny Helms (Shirley), Ronnie Helms (Brenda), Terry Helms (Kathy). Three In- laws: Raymond Padgett (Melinea), Felicia Stovall, Darline Stephens. Three grandchildren: Jakob Scroggins, Keira Lowery, Chad Lowery, Jr. In addition he leaves behind a precious spiritual family of brothers and sisters to numerous to count. He was preceded in death by his parents and a sister Helen Cofer. He will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him. We all look forward to the fulfillment of Jehovahs wonderful promise at John 5:28, 29. For then he will hear Jesus’ voice and come out of the memorial tomb and enjoy life in God’s New World. The family would like to express their deep appreciation for your prayers, phone calls and cards during Paul’s illness. Our hearts are full of gratitude for all you have done. Many thanks go out to our Great God for providing such a loving wonderful brotherhood.
