Justin Joe Helm, 39, passed away surrounded by his family in Little Rock, Arkansas on December 5, 2021. He was born on December 11, 1981 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to the late Joe Helm and Belinda (Galloway) Burton. He was the loving husband to his wife, Holly (Martin) Helm.
Justin was a fun guy who always had a smile and laugh for those around him. He worked at River Grille Steakhouse in Bentonville for 20 years and was a sales analyst for Walmart suppliers.
His passion was music. Justin could play any instrument given to him and had a beautiful singing voice. He made it his goal to never miss a Pearl Jam tour, and succeeded with over 20 shows.
He was a fan of movies, but his favorite was the “Never Ending Story”. He was also a Seinfeld buff and liked to use phrases from the show in conversation. He liked to play board games, especially Monopoly and video games.
Justin had a peaceful soul which made those around him comfortable. He didn’t know a stranger. On nice days, he loved to take his dogs Pilate and Jake and his wife Holly riding around in his Jeep with the top down.
He was preceded in death by his father, Joe Helm; sister-in-law Sara Edwards-Martin; and his best dog pal, Baxter Joe Helm.
He is survived by his wife, Holly Helm; mother, Belinda Burton; his other dad, Jay Burton; brother, Ryan Helm (Julie); step-brother, Andy Burton (Amanda); step-sisters, Crystal Simmons (Eric) and Amber King (Matt); nephews, Eli and Ethan Helm and Holden and AJ Simmons; as well as other nieces and nephews.
