Born in Hawthorne, California and a lifetime resident of Selma, David Helm went Home to be with our Heavenly Father and his beloved wife Pat.
David was a graduate of Selma High School and proudly served in the United States Navy. David was stationed in Jacksonville, Florida where he met his love, Patricia Barnett. They wed in Georgia.
While in Florida, the birth of their first of two daughters, Kimberly, was celebrated. After David completed his service to his country, the family moved to California where the birth of their second daughter Leslie took place.
In 1972, he purchased and operated his first business, Selma Shell and Dave's Towing, which is still in existence today. He continued his love of business by forming two more business partnerships with lifelong friends, Lanny Taylor and Jim Cook.
He also had a strong sense of dedication to his hometown. He was committed to supporting and assisting the Selma Police Department, Selma Community Hospital Foundation, Selma youth organizations, local clubs, and church, school and community events.
In 1989, David's love for racing became a reality. He established an internationally known 410 Sprint Car race team known as "Selma Shell Racing", headed by Sonny Kratzer.
David was an honest, loving, dedicated, hardworking man full of integrity. He will be greatly missed by all whose lives he touched. The family would like to thank you for all your prayers, love, and support during these trying times.
