Dear Rochelle & family, so sorry for your loss. Keeping you in prayer. Billie (Pleasant) Haynes.

Rochelle, you and your son are in our prayers. We were neighbors for a long time and I remember Julian always being in the yard mowing or piddling around. He would always smile and wave and then of course he and Dave would talk and cut up. Please know you are in our prayers. David & Alicia Fleming

I remember Julian as a very principled and persistent person. He handled adversity and life with strength of will and empathy. I think of him when I think of persons of courage and conviction. Bless him

Rochelle and Julian II, I was saddened to see that Julian had passed away. He would always make me laugh when he came for his Foot Dr. appointment. I loved to pick at him and would always call him Mr. Hayes. Julian had a contagious smile, when he smiled you couldn't help but to smile back. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Lean on the Lord for comfort in the coming days, weeks and months. Phyllis Denny
