He made such a difference in this world, and in the lives he touched throughout his lifetime. He was always kind and helpful to everyone, and he never met a stranger. All who knew him had the same sentiment about him which is “he is one of the kindest persons you could ever meet!” and his laugh was so contagious that everyone around him had to laugh too! He knew something about everything, and if he didn’t, he would most certainly figure it out…

Jeffery Leon Helms was a one-of-a-kind man. He was a great mentor, a forever confidant, and a “True Friend”. The Legend. The Legacy. The Miracle Man, who was, and still is Truly A Miracle Man…
