A proud veteran of the United States Air Force, Julius continued his commitment to service through a career in civil service at Fort Benning. His intelligence and determination were evident in every role he undertook, earning the respect of colleagues and community alike.

Julius found joy in life’s simple pleasures—grilling outdoors with loved ones, casting a line while fishing, taking peaceful walks, and listening to music that stirred the soul. His sense of humor brought laughter to many moments, and his pride in his family was unwavering.

He was the beloved father of Julian Walker, Julie Walker, Jeremy Walker, and JaShon Franklin.

He shared a lifelong friendship with Melvin Greenlee.

He was preceded in death by his parents Dorothy and James Walker Sr., his brother James Walker Jr., and his beloved son Julian Walker. His memory will live on through the stories shared around grillside gatherings and the echoes of music he loved.

May his memory bring comfort and smiles to all who carry him in their hearts.
