Wayne Allen Kessler left this earth on February 7th, 2024 after a long battle with multiple health issues. He was 64 years old.

Wayne was born on June 26th, 1959, To Roy and Regina Kessler in Langdon, North Dakota. The family made its way to Helena when Wayne was 3, stopping for a brief period in Harlowtown, Montana.

He was the 3rd child born out of five children and always the most pleasant and humble person to be around. His laugh was infectious, and he made the most of the life he lived.

He attended schools in Helena, before joining the Army where he spent some time in Germany before returning to Helena where he became self-employed in several ventures including, Roto Rooter, and Tubs to Go where he designed and manufactured spas from the ground up in a state-of-the-art facility.

He also designed and built flatbed and fifth wheel trailers and sold firewood for many years. His work ethic was amazing, even when health issues began to develop. There was nothing that He couldn't do, evidenced by the many stunning wildlife glass etchings he created as well as beautiful handmade Damascus knives he crafted with his gifted hands right up to the final day. He enjoyed playing chess, as well as hunting and fishing and even tied all his own flies. He loved dogs and his best friend Ruger, who unfortunately was also quite ill, passed away within 2 days of Wayne. They will be together always. He will be greatly missed by his many friends and especially his family.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Regina and his father, Roy Kessler. He is survived by his brothers, Arlen Kessler, (Mary), Don Kessler, (Kelli), And Sisters, Cindy (Steve) Morgensen, and Julie Rogers, as well as nieces and nephews, Jennifer Kessler, Nick Kessler, (Kansys),( Kyzer, Deakyn), Brian Kessler, Kendra (Hannah) Kessler, Lisa(Dan) Quinn, Eddie Morgensen,(Heather), Justin Rogers,(Kate), and Jason Rogers.

Rest in Peace dear brother until we are together again. You fought the hard fight.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, March 30, 2024 from Noon to 3 PM at the East Helena VFW.
