Julian Lamont Early
10/7/60 – 3/14/20
St. Louis Center is saddened to announce the passing of Julian Lamont Early, a longtime resident who passed peacefully unto the Lord on the morning of March 14, 2020 at the age of 59.
Julian always knew that St. Louis Center was his home, and all the residents were all members of his extended family. Julian was born in Detroit, MI on October 7, 1960, and he had been a resident of St. Louis Center since October 26, 1974.
Julian’s smile could light up a room, and everyone loved him because he was such a “Gentle Soul.” He had a great love of sports, especially the Detroit Tigers and Detroit Red Wings, and he also enjoyed bowling, dancing, bingo, watching NASCAR racing on television, and Bible study. In previous years he worked at Cottage Inn and Macaroni Grill in Ann Arbor through Michigan Ability Partners, and his last job was working in the dining room at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital – Chelsea.
Julian’s parents were Samuel Allen Early, Jr. and Marjorie Settles-Washington and they preceded him in death. He is survived by his step-brother Walter House (Eleanor) of Reynoldsburg, Ohio, and burial will take place at the Chattanooga National Veterans Cemetery in Tennessee.
A memorial service will take place to honor Julian at St. Louis Center at a future date.
Arrangements are being made through Staffan-Mitchell Funeral Home in Chelsea.
My heart goes out to the St. Louis family.
