I attended the funeral today in Plant City Florida (near Tampa) for Scott and I have to say it was one of the nicest and moving I have been to in a long time. The Helms family is very close and loving and some of the nicest people I have ever met. I know it was a very hard day for Kevin and Pat but they managed make it through like the champions they are. The preacher (Baptist) did a fine job relating Scotts colorful life to the many people that attended and read many of the comments from this thread to the congregation. There was a very nice video presentation of Scotts life that both put a tear in your eye and made you chuckle.
Scott was a unique individual with a heart of gold and the gift to make friends where ever he went. He could make you smile and forget your problems and was there for you if you needed help. How could you ask for more? I am proud to be able to say Scott was my long time friend and I will miss him greatly. R.I.P. Fat Boy! Save me a pit spot. Jim

I just want to say thank you to all our great friends and racing family who have been so supportive in this unimaginable and unexpected loss to our family. All the loving comments and messages, the flowers, the food, the people who attended the funeral and the memorial, and most of all for all the prayers, we say thank you. Scott will be missed so much by so many people but never forgotten. He never saw a stranger and would give you the shirt off his back. He always had his mama's back too, believe me! One of my friends who did not know Scott told me when they walked out of the service, she turned to her husband said, wow, we wish we could have known him. He was such a great guy. I will miss him most during racing season because we would always be on the phone listening to Kevin run together when it was possible. He would fill me in on all the technicalities and he could tell me what car every driver was driving and who they were. RIP, my sweet son!
