Alvin “Al” T. Helton

March 5, 1948 - October 1, 2016

Mr. Alvin T. “Al” Helton, 68 of Seymour, passed away Saturday, October 1, 2016, at 7:28 am at Schneck Medical Center with his family by his side.

Born March 5, 1948, in Austin, Indiana, he was the son of Clifford E. and Martha (White) Helton.

On March 31, 1967, in Seymour, he married his childhood sweetheart, Sara Jane “Janie” Sutton. They enjoyed almost 50 years together, and she survives.

Alvin was a member of the Brownstown Nazarene Church and a 1966 graduate of Seymour High School. He was a US Air Force veteran and a member of the National Rifle Association. He retired in 2002 from Cummins Engine Company after 30 years of service. Alvin was an excellent wood worker but also liked the outdoors. He spent many happy hours fishing and hunting; he especially liked deer hunting. Although he kept busy with his hobbies, time with family was still the most important thing to him. He truly loved the Lord and lived his life to serve Him.

Besides his wife, he is survived by his children: Lisa M. (Jimmy) Baker, Laura A. (Shane) Alka and Adam T. Helton; grandchildren: Joshua (Leigh Ann) Cordes, Jacob Cordes, Sara (Michael) Thornton, Kyle Alka, Aaron Helton and Hannah (Sean) Tannahill; great-grandchildren: Annaleigh Cordes, Isaac Cordes, Zaiden Helton and Emeli Helton; and brothers: David (Cheryl) Helton, Paul E. Helton, and Joseph L. Helton.

Alvin was preceded in death by his parents and sister, Naomi Smith.
