“The world is a little darker today without you in it, Brian Helmers. I’m incredibly thankful for all the memories we’ve made and how close our Helmers family has always been.
You made everything more fun with your quick wit and sense of humor. All the years racing karts, going to the races anywhere possible and racing RC cars at our little track in Dunnell will always be some of my favorite memories.
I’ll miss the hell out of you. Give my mom a big hug from me. I know she’s welcoming you into Heaven with Grandpa Bob, Grandma Leanna, Uncle Doug, Roundy and the rest of our loved ones already up there. Rest easy, Zoot Suit!”
