I was so heartbroken to hear of Julian's passing. I only knew him briefly as a child and remember he was always laughing, joyful and fun to be around. After reading some of the comments here it is apparent he grew up to be a fine young man who was caring and loving to those he knew. My heart goes out to his family and friends, may you find love and peace in this time of loss. He will forever be in our hearts. 

Had a great time hanging out with you back in Iroquois and Maine West. You were always an optimist around us. Still remember  the times when you, you're brothers, and I competed and trained together in our sports team for baseball and swimming. Julian, I'm gonna miss you man, we all will.

Juju, Julian, My heart is so heavy. I will miss your laugh and smile. Your entrance through the back of the Greco’s house and you greeting us all with a big hug. I will miss our random singing while sitting down and hanging out. You, the only male, singing, no screaming,  “Truth hurts” with all us girls. I will miss seeing you nap on a couch from all the fun we all had, and the good mornings the day after. I will remember last friendsgiving’s fondly and how much you liked the FIRST ham I ever cooked and you gave me your official approval of it, a big thumbs up, and you said I could make this again with a big cheesing smile. I will forever remember your kindness and generosity. You always made it your duty to make everyone smile. You were truly an amazing and kind soul. I was and am so blessed to call you a friend. Oh you will be dearly missed by us all Juju. My condolences to Chris, Seb, Derek, Danielle, your parents Laura and Sebastian, your grandparents, and the rest of your family. We will all hold a special place in our hearts for you. 💕❤️💕

Julian..I am going  to miss our cigars and beers together. I'll always remember your sugar high when we were in Galena. I'll also remember you bringing flowers when you asked my daughter to prom. You had a heart of gold which is rare.  Love you always. 

Julian, my precious son. My heart aches for you and the pain your were feeling that night. My heart hurts for all of our family and friends who are losing such an amazing man in their lives. My heart hurts for the people who will never get to have the blessing of having you light up their lives. I am grateful that I was blessed to have you as a son. So many people are blessed to have had you in their lives. I am so grateful that we were able to spend more time together over that past year. I love you more than words can say and miss you terribly. Rest In Peace  my son

Love Dad

Part of me just doesn't want to believe your really gone. I feel like we have been through so much and I feel like I wish it could be with more time. I feel like that's the hardest part for me. I won't regret a thing because I don't think you'd want me to think negative on the subject. I've always tried to live my life in a positive way, but now more than ever is it extremely difficult to do. I love you, you are a good brother and a great friend. I knew you since you were a youngling, and considered you apart of my family. I hope you never forget me, because I will never forget you. I'll stay strong for you Julian, May you rest in peace little brother, . 

I love you so much Julian. You are an amazing brother, son, grandson and nephew. I love you so much 

We were so shocked and saddened to hear of Julian's sudden death. I find it difficult to express how much we shall all miss him. Julian was such a bright, talented and wonderful young man so full of life and promise. I will miss his sense of humor and laugh. Julian was the  life of the party. I loved his cheerful disposition. Whenever he walked into our house it was like a breath of the fresh air. His smile and energy brightened everyone's day. He was so kind to anyone needed help. I especially love Julian's gentle spirit and loving nature. He loved people and animals. Our dog was always going nuts where Julian was in our house. He was so much fun to be around. His loss leaves a huge gap in our lives. He will be sorely missed by all of us.  Someone as special as Julian will never be forgotten. He will remain in our hearts for as long as we live.

Julian,

Words cannot describe how much you will be missed. You were such a loving and kind soul whose personality shined brighter than anyone I've ever met. I will never forget all the wonderful memories with you and still can't believe you are no longer with us. Rest easy Julian ❤️. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of your loved ones. We love you. 

Juilian you were such a kind hearted and lovable human being. I’d always run into you in the most random places and you would always have the biggest smile on your face.  Rest in paradise buddy, you will be missed. 

Words cannot express how saddened i am at the loss of Julian. I have known the Hernandez family since before the twins were born. They are some of the most wonderful people that i know, and, this loss is horrific. Rest in peace sweet Julian!!!

Julian was one of the nicest people I ever met. Genuinely cared about everyone and just tried to have everyone be happy. One of the last times I saw him he came over and started singing and playing ukulele with my mother. For those who know her shes usually not in a good mood towards my freinds but julian was able to put a smile on her face. Genuinely he was one of the nicest most genuine person i ever met. Not a single oz of selfishness in his soul and that's very rare to find now adays. Real shame what happend. I hadent talked to him in the past few months leading up to what happend. The thought crossed my head to give him a call the day before it all happend and I wish I did maybe it could have changed the outcome. Feels empty without him idk almost like it's not real but I know it is and it genuinely hurts. 

When i first read the article I thought that it was just another everyday wreck but when i checked back for an update and found out it was you my heart sank. You had the "new kid's" back the moment i met you in 5th grade you introduced me into your group that became "our" group because you cared that much about me that you didnt want to see me suffer alone with no friends. Julian youre an inspiration and I know you were still with us wednesday because you did what you do best and brought everyone together one last time. I love you julian we'll cross paths again when its time.

My heart hurts. Julian, you were so full of life and laughter. Spending time with you and your brothers has been some of the best times of my life. I'm sure gonna miss you. I wish I could hear your laugh again, it was absolutley infectious. I'll remember us sitting around and singing, enjoying life, pausing time for just a moment together. We all love you Julian.

Julian - you knew how to celebrate life - it seems that you were always singing, smiling and dancing.   I'll always remember you dropping in just to talk to Papa G and I.  You were thoughtful and your height came in handy many a time in my household of short people.  I'll miss your smile, your hugs, your singing and your sense of humor.   I will always be there for your family and will try to carry some of that free spirit that you contained with me.    You will always be in my heart.   Prayers, love and hugs to your family and friends.  

Julian ...... I miss you more then words can describe. Today it really hit me that your gone. All day I have been listening to songs that remind me of you , looking back at pictures and videos  . I love you so much . You were more then a great friend to me you were my family you were my younger brother . You lit of the world and brought laughs and smiles to many people . Your good heart was infectious and you spread the positivity all around.  You were always there for me and you listened to all my issues .  When I got really excited over something you would mimic my excitement because you wanted nothing but happiness for me and other people.  You were the only guy who sang along to almost every song with me and even sang truth hurts by lizzo not missing a single word.  You always cracked jokes at the perfect times and you would make the room erupt with laughter.   You always walked right into my house greeted my parents as mama g and papa g and would give me a big hug and hug me as tight as you can .  I just wish I got one more of those. One of my favorite memories was when you spent the night at my family's place one night and you saw me walk down stairs hair a mess , nothing but crew neck and sweatpants and I was doing that thing where I was laughing and crying at the same time and you  didn't really know what to do so you just  took your pointer finger and you booped me on my nose and it made me actually stop.  I will alway tell stories about you , and If I ever decide to have kids one day they will know about all our adventures and the countless advice you've given me .
I  hope you can see all the hearts you have touched and impacted .All the people who love and miss you so much . 
The world is dark place without you. Nobody can be just like you or replace you . For you are unforgettable.  My condolences go out to your whole family . My family will continue to be there for them and will always be there for them . Sending love and prayers. Rest in peace brother 

Words cannot express to you how sorry I am for your families loss. I remember coaching Julian a long time ago on the Neptune Swim Team. He was a fun person to be around and I valued him and his ideas. He was a very special person. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family.

I wish I could talk to you right now Julian. You always made me feel better when I was sad... and I'm so very sad. Julian you were more than amazing. A true friend. A huge goofball. So talented too. We will all miss you so much. Sending you so much love, I hope you can feel it buddy.  I love you.

Deepest sympathy to the Hernandez and Imig family on the loss of Julian. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Julian was a gentle and kind soul. We hope he finds the peace he was seeking  in heaven. We are happy we got a chance to know him. 
Sincerely,

Coach’s Mike, Terry, Pete and myself are devastated to learn of Julians passing. So tragic!
We always enjoyed Julians presence on and off the deck (and brothers) as well as his situational humor. His outlook on life was positive. Such a gentle soul.
We wish to convey to the Hernandez family our love and prayers during this difficult time. Our “team” will never be the same.
Stay strong.
The Coaches
Mike, Terry, Pete & Rob
