Joey Raymond Helms Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on September 22, 2025, at the age of 64, Joey Raymond Helms (Tyler, Texas) passed away. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.

As we bid Joey farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Joey is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He was predeceased by: his father Clarence Helms. He is survived by: his mother Patsy Derouen Helms; his wife Lavonne Benker Helms; his daughter Jessica Ross Aimes; and his sisters, Tammy Vaughan (Freddie) and Carolyn Ingram (Willie). He is also survived by his family and the many friends.
