Julian went to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on February 15, 2024. He passed away at home surrounded by family and friends. He was 46 years old.
Julian was born on July 23, 1977, in Denver, CO to Michael and Mary Cynthia (Cindy) Gonzales. He was the middle child of 3 boys.
Julian attended Brighton HS. After high school he had numerous jobs but found his passion when he became a truck driver. He loved going over the road because it allowed him to travel and visit different states. In 2007 he started talking to the love of his life Blanca. They got married on June 18, 2011. Julian was very much a people person (he NEVER met a stranger). To know him was indeed to love him. He was the type of person that would literally give you the shirt off his back and his last dollar. He had the biggest heart and sweetest soul.
Julian had many loves: sports being one of them. He wrestled in his younger school years. He also loved his hometown teams (GO BRONCOS). As a young boy, thanks to his dad a love of boating and water began. Beaches (in California and Miami), lakes, rivers and even ponds he loved to be around. If there was water, Julian wanted to be there. Before his death he started to restore his dads 1976 jet boat. His dream was to get it finished so that all his family could enjoy it, especially his kids. God willing, we will make that wish come true.
Sweets were another love of his: from jolly ranchers, cinnamon bears, orange slices and creamy caramel (just to name a few). The sweeter the better. He was also quite the movie "BUFF". He loved war, based on true events, gangster, action and comedy movies. He could recite a movie from start to finish. His music playlist was one to admire. From country, R&B, hip-hop, rock and roll, soft rock, worship and even some Spanish. He loved it all. There's not a movie or song that will not remind us of him. Towards the last few years of his life Julian focused his attention on having a relationship with God. He loved Jesus, his wife, kids, granddaughters, mom, brothers, all his nieces, nephews and everyone in between.
He is survived by his wife Blanca of 17 years and six children Elijah, Dyllyn, Matthew, Jadenn (Cheyanne), Faith and Michael. Two granddaughters Jackie and Jade. His beloved mother Cindy and two brothers Michael and Fred (Lacie). A number of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends that became family.
He is preceded in death by his father Michael M. Gonzales.
