He loved his dog Reese, diet coke, onions, pizza, MASH and The Andy Griffith Show.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHe loved Jesus Christ and served his church family faithfully. Russell was not a perfect man, but he is made new in Heaven with Jesus, experiencing joy forevermore.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHe was preceded in death by his mom and dad, Robert and Thelma Helton; and his brother, Lee Helton.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHe is survived by his wife, Judy Kay Helton; daughter, Amanda and husband, Dan Blake; son, John Helton and wife, Laurel; grandchildren, Jude, Keller and Kase; brother, Mark Helton; sister, Janie Bemis; and stepmother, Judy Helton.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo all who loved Russell, he \u201cwasn\u2019t just another pretty face.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nIn honoring Mr. Helton\u2019s wishes, he will be cremated.
