Julian made friends easily and had many. He was funny, loving and kind. Julian attended Benbrook Elementary where he made lifelong friends. He had a special bond with so many of his family and friends in Houston, Chicago, Corpus Christie and Rockport. When he was younger Julian would spend summers in Homewood, IL with his Aunt Jess. Later on he spent time in Chicago working trade shows with his Uncle Bryan.
He could make anyone in the room laugh and smiling around him was inevitable. His sarcastic tones and witty comebacks were quick and matched his level of enthusiasm about life. He had a passion for music, loud clothes and food.
Julian started working at 11years old with a paper route for the Houston Chronicle. He also worked with his Mom at Airtron and at Hollywood with his Grandfather Rey, Uncle Ernie, Uncle Rey Jr. and Cousin Chris. Most recently he started a job that he really enjoyed – installing fiber for Barnes Construction.
