August 27, 1950 — March 19, 2020

Seguin TX

Paul Emil Helfer (69), passed away after a hard fought battle with cancer on March 19, 2020 at his home in Seguin, Texas. He was a loving husband to Grace Helfer, sharing 35 years of Marriage together.

Born to Emil and Elsa Helfer in Forchheim (a small village) in Karlsruhe, Germany; Paul immigrated to the United States at age eight, passing Ellis Island in New York arriving in 1958. He studied Electronics at Queensborough Community College before becoming a small business owner and professional diesel mechanic.

Paul had a lifelong love of reading, long road trips across the country, the outdoors, and his many pets throughout the years. He enjoyed regional food, cooking, and beer - all in equal measure. Paul’s life reflected his personality as a modest, hard working, and soft-spoken man, who was a good friend to all. He is remembered for his caring nature, willingness to help those around him, and being a loving husband, father, and brother.

He is survived by his wife Grace Helfer, sister and brother-in-law Irene & Martin Bennett, son and daughter-in-law Emil Helfer & Erika Gonzalez, stepdaughter and son-in-law Lorraine & Steven Gonzales, nieces Caitlyn and Claire Bennett, Dolores and Emily MacDonald, Kim Burnett, and Kristen Doyle.
