Julius was a very devoted and active member of the Nation of Islam since before 1990 and loved photography. You could always catch him taking pictures at every function he attended.

Julius was also a very well respected and honorable man to not only his family but as well as in any community he resided in. He most recently resided in Muskegon, MI where he quickly connected with the residents with the intent to give them hope and a voice to make a difference in the community where he was most recently elected to the Muskegon Heights Board of Education. He was someone who grabbed everyone's attention as soon as he entered the room. He represented a torchlight for Muskegon Heights and pledged to make the community a safe and decent place to live. His goal was to develop a culture of learning & intellect, to get rid of ignorance, jealousy, envy, and the lack of love that divides us as a people.
