Gene Helm

It is with great sadness that the family of Gene Helm, Bismarck, formerly of Mandan, announces his passing on October 15, 2025, following a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 86 years old and passed peacefully at home, surrounded by his loving family.

Family will greet friends on Wednesday, October 22nd from 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM at Weigel Funeral Home in Mandan. A rosary will be said at 4:00pm and a time of sharing will start at 6:00 PM. Burial service will be held at 1:00 PM on Thursday, October 23rd at the North Dakota Veteran’s Cemetery with full military honors.

Gene was a devoted family man with unwavering patience and a gentle disposition. He was known for his constant support, dependable strength, and the quiet reassurance that he could always be counted on in any situation.

He was preceded in death by his parents, sister, and grandson-in-law. He is survived by his devoted wife, four children, three grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, three son-in-laws, one daughter-in-law and one grand daughter-in-law, all of whom were the pride and joy of his life.

Family was everything to Gene. He cherished family gatherings and took great pride in the love, care, and closeness he shared with those dearest to him. He lived a full and wonderful life—one marked by kindness, laughter, and deep devotion to those he loved most. Our hearts are full of memories we will cherish forever.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
