Justin was a big brother to me in my childhood. I remember bugging him about the instruments he would play when I was younger and asking him to play a tune. He would also play video games with me and his little brothers too. He will be dearly missed and carried in my heart always. 

These photos were taken in 2016 during my visit to Ate Arlene and family.

It was just a brief encounter with Justin  but I'm glad that I was able to meet him and  learned of his talents, achievements, kindness and service to the church. 

Rest in peace, Justin.

One memory of the many I had with bro Julius  was our Time at pepper park when he brought his guitar and we sang a bunch of songs just for fun! After that we had strawberry shortcake ice cream … and then ate at the mall- 
Me and bro Julius were both diagnosed with bipolar - I was able to relate to the experiences he had trying to deal with it . The last month of his life , I got to give him a rosary -I continue to pray for him - I’ll miss our “ reflection” times where I would just do my passion planner questions with him at the end of the month …. 
Thank you Bro Julius , for being my friend and for all the memories we had praying, singing , sharing … you were like a little brother to me 

Rest in eternal peace - Decolores 

Im praying for ur whole family, Auntie Tess… 
I pray God comforts u with His love during this time 

To my dear little brother Julius,

There is so much I want to share but this isn’t enough room for all the memories and good times we shared together. We first met when you were a shy, quiet student of mine in CCD/Confirmation but who had a big heart and very talented. Fast forward through the years, you became part of the confirmation team, youth group leader, Knights of Columbus, Cursillo, Mastermind group. We became close friends and I gained a little brother that was so inspiring, and full of life. 

We’ve shared our struggles together but through it all, we’ve always remained the best of friends. I will miss all our fun times, music jam sessions, the laughs and just your presence. It was an honor to be your rector in Cursillo.

I will miss you my dear brother. I’ll see you when I get there. 

No words to describe how sorry and sad I am to learn about of your passing.  I remember you from five years ago how calm person you are who always have patience to your younger siblings and how you spoils them all the time even if you don’t have much and you still try to share your blessings to them. You know how to show compassion in your words and actions even at difficult times that no one can possibly be able to do. Gods teachings are beaming out of your personality and character, what a precious person you were and will always be in our hearts and minds forever.  We will always miss your sincere words and smile and your passion to help others and your amazing talent to serve God and others even give the homeless person the respect they need that no one else can give them. You didn’t serve in military but you most definitely served God’s army with highest honors and dignity. People will  always remember your name of how you touch their lives and their souls. I wish many people are just like you. We need more kind people like you. You were an angel on earth and now, in heaven above.  You will never be forgotten, fly high sweet child.  Your Auntie, Mayumi and Leonardo are happy to have met you in this world.

I met Julius in our church choir Souls in Harmony and since then got to know what a very kind, fun and talented person he is and how involved him and his family are in the church community. Always smiling and such a strong person. When we would sing and hang out together it was a good time. I remember us playing music for a youth retreat and we did “Jesus Take the Wheel”. I will always remember that moment I got to share with him. I am very sad now but am praying for him that he is in Jesus’ loving arms.  Love you Julius! ❤️

     I don’t really know much about you but I’m your Aunt and you are my Nephew.  And I really felt sad that you have left this world at a young age.  But as I read about you from your friends and the people you have touched, I got to know more about you and I feel proud that you have done your part to know and have a relationship with the LORD and to be there for OTHERS---to be with SOMEONE who needed an ear or a hand…and be a Friend.  And that warmed my heart…you have loved…you are loved…and will truly be missed…  

Julius to me was like a little brother to me, I want to say our friendship was just instant. He entered my life when I was at a low point and has been a bright light ever since. The thing that stood out to me the most was he was so open about his mental health his good days his bad days he wasn’t scared at all and I admired him for that. Julius and I could talk to each other for hours wether it was at work, playing video, or over the phone. He was the kind of friend that would text me every day and ask how was I doing. He may be gone but I will never forget may your soul Rest In Peace king Julius

The Bautistas have been family to us since way back. When they lost their son Justin, we too lost a son. He was the son of our whole group. It saddens us that we won't see him touch more lives than what he had already  accomplished.  Sadden that more people could've been inspired by his innocence, love and above all faith. I never doubted that he will  be a good and kind person because I knew his parents,  their faith is unwavering, but more so now in this very trying times. We love you Justin and you will surely be missed by everyone.  May you rest in peace and continue to be our not so little angel. 

One thing that always struck out to me about Julius is that he always acted with brotherly love to those around him. When I was at college with him we would eat lunch together, hang out at the Catholic Club, and occasionally work out. His love also extended to his family, which he cherished. Despite any struggles he had in life he persevered and made the best out of any situation. He humbly and devoutly did his upmost to follow the Lord as his guiding star and inspiration. I will miss his warm presence and inherent kindness, and will not stop praying for the repose of his soul and for his intentions here on earth. Most of all I look forward to meeting him at the pearly gates where we will enjoy eternal happiness with our friends and family with Christ. God shine on you my brother. I love you and look forward to our next happy meeting.

Thank you for being someone I could always rely on, a shoulder to cry, an ear to borrow and how to turn to God whenever there was a hardship in my life. I remember our first interaction and how you reached out and introduced yourself at the casino. At that moment, I knew we had a connection and that it later grew into a friendship that I will always cherish in my heart. One of my favorite characteristics that you had was your ability to care for others. You were so selfless and never hesitated to help anybody in need. I remember I was on a hike and I felt someone following me. My immediate thought was to call you and from that phone call, you gave me peace, a feeling of ease and comfort. You stayed on the phone with me for 25 minutes until I got back to my car. You brought me comfort and a feeling of safety. I also remember all of the new food places we wanted to try, but always ended up at In N Out. We always made it a point to stay connected wherever we were at in our lives and even though right now I can’t see or hear you, your memories  will forever in my heart. One day we will meet again, but for now Rest In Peace.
