Julius was a man who truly enjoyed life. He had a deep love for sports, especially cheering on all things Georgia, including the Falcons, Bulldogs, Hawks, and Braves. He love to bowl and played in the Peach Bowl Tournament in 1988-87. He also found joy in watching classic western movies, playing card games with family and friends, and showcasing his cooking skills in the kitchen. His loving personality, combined with his wonderful sense of humor, made him unforgettable. Julius never met a stranger; he had a gift for making everyone feel welcomed and valued.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Carrie Mae Ingram Person Stinson; his son, Jimmy Person; his parents, Julius Robert Stinson, Sr. and Bertha Lee Flakes; and his brothers, Frankie, Freddie, Joseph, and Donald Stinson.

He leaves to cherish his precious memories, his loving children, Tracy (Elickku) Person and Ronald (Quleria) Person; his brother, Terry (Angela) Stinson; and his sisters, Roberta (Nathaniel "Ted") Hall, Janie (E.J.) Cochran, Nellie Louise Stinson, and Christine (Royce) Pickett. He also leaves behind his beloved aunt, Mary Brooks. Julius's legacy continues through his grandchildren: Antwuan Williams, Lakesha Person, Mykeece Reid, Keirra Person, and Nyla Person; his great-grandchild, Kairsen Person; three special sisters-in-law, one special brother-in-law, a host of nieces, nephews other close relatives and friends who will forever cherish his memory.
